Next, Open up a separate browser….

Go to CCS and login and let it do its redirect CCS+. Via CCS+ use a link that gets you back to the old CCS. I did via training/qualifications. Go to schedule the schedule page and it will take you to the OG schedule page. Copy that web address.

Go back to RosterBuster, paste that web address and it should load up your schedule via the old CCS and now add the roster….
Does that keep your schedule synced automatically? Used RB before FCV, liked it but they lost the sync feature at NK years ago.

Nope, every schedule requires a new roster upload…. I mainly use RB to load my flights into LogTen Pro.

tell me you’ve never had EZCCS without telling me you’ve never had easy EZCCS. It is completely customizable. It displays information plainly with highlights for important information. Hyperlinks for hotel and transportation services phone numbers. it caches so you can immediately view information without a connection something that might be helpful to you in a foreign country where you don’t have service or service with any degree of useful speed. Mostly the fact that it caches and that it’s infinitely customizable make EZCCS a far superior product. CCS+ is just CCS reformatted. I have my doubts that we will see the improvements that will make ccs+ approach the functionality and ease of use of EZCCS.

last note said that it is getting off-line cache and other airline listing support. But really they should’ve just bought EZccs and brought it in the house.

With all the talk of cybersecurity, moves tpward 2 factor identification, etc. I’m actually surprised they let it go on for that long. Having said that, I think EzCCS is a superior product & I wish the company had just purchased it & integrated into their secure network.

Stupid question but am I correct that there is no way to load CCS+ on a personal device? So if you want to pull up your schedule on the phone it’s back to Safari>CCS>old school login? I know, I know, age of convenience complaints & all…

I see guys printing off paper schedules now to take with them. And the printouts are still 10x harder to read than the old format. We can give inputs all they want; no way this will ever be as useful as ezCCS. I'm also not thrilled the company is putting it on us to make their crappy program better.

You can. There is a link in the ccs messages. You can’t find it by just searching for it in the App Store.

Theres a CCS+ app, you need get it by logging into CCS+ on a web browser on your PED and there will be App Store links for it via Android or IOS…

Use the CCS+ app and take screenshots for reference.

What a dumb comment. I've used it for years.

CCS+ does this.

Agreed. EZCCS is a far superior product. Did I say it wasn't?

Largely yes, but there are a handful of features I like better. I can see how many NRSAs and SJ1As are listed, either for a flight I'm working or for a commute I'm trying to catch, within seconds. EZCCS would go run a 4-layered SHARES scripts to pull the same info, and it was much harder to read.

It still has a ways to go though. Fortunately everything on ezccs and ccs itself is still easily accessible.
