yup. All the time. 737.

I have auto join on. Ask to join off. Turned off private address. I’m constantly reconnecting.

Just as bad on the 777's. And slow if you can connect.

Go to the United app and connect messages. It might ping the server more and keep you connected. I am doing it on the old iPad and have had luck

well did you select auto-join?

I am having the same issues as you are. It is very frustrating.

well….you’ve been here all of five minutes…..tell me what else I’m doing wrong.

Clearly nobody else has commented on having this same issue. 🙄

Maybe I missed your fleet, but on the bus, mine does not auto-join either. It does, however, seem to stay connected once I manually join. Just a data point.

I seem to remember this being mentioned a few months ago. I can’t for the life of me remember where though if it was FOU, a bulletin, ALPA email, or where but IIRC the not autojoining is not a bug. It’s a new feature. After engine start I always have to re-connect. Both on the 737 and the 756. Old iPad and new. I’m too lazy to go back and try to find where and when it was addressed but I’m positive it was. I forget the logic/illogic behind it also.
