Obviously our profession is changing daily. It is an exciting time for all pilots.

Due to the rapid changes, it is difficult for the information posted on the website to stay current. I.e. Fleet, pilot count, retirements, pay, etc.

I suggest we amend the website to take on a Wikipedia quality. Let the users update the data.

Not a bad idea, we'll discuss with powers-that-be.

Thanks.

Having up to date info.should add many users and many more hits on the website.

What's really nice is pilots notice when stuff is no corrrect. Immediately.

I'd be surprised if it works. I allowed my charts to be openly edited at first. It took only about 24 hours before pilots started sabotaging the numbers. In fairness it was all at the regional level. I suspect it had something to do with bad blood between different RJ guys due to the whipsaw.

Regardless someone is going to have to manage and verify the edits made to any type of wiki.

My charts are amateur to be sure, but I do try to update as soon as someone gets a change to me.

PS. They work best on a non-mobile PC or MAC. Labels get jumbled on mobile.

Yeah, I thought of that right off. We're discussing possibly having a small number of designated editors...known by name and verified employees of their airline. Rules would be keep the data factual...objective facts. "Mesa Sucks" may be a fact but it's not entirely objective...

Good idea, but I see what you did there rick, you got a jab off without it counting as one. Very tricky. My poor Alma Mater just can't get a break in any thread LOL!

I can say that cuz I worked there too... :)

That's right! Ha I forgot.

I'm thinking only the "profiles" section and only certain items.

The person posting the change would get a message warning intentional false information will result in a 6 month ban and loss of editing ability permanently.

I think it will work and be of great benefit.

Or, have the poster's APC name listed by their posts/updates. Presumably, all y'all mods have verified info on who posters are, work for, etc, so this would be a way for people to see publicly who posted what and would be easier for you mods.
