This
web-based application facilitates crewmembers with an efficient means of
accessing, viewing and in some cases amending details pertaining to Personal
and Flight Information. Each
option and utility found within the application can be activated with optimum
simplicity and offers an array of resourceful information. Sub-options are
also available to help increase efficiency and flexibility when it comes to
the management of information. All

directly from a web server, which has instant access to an airline’s
database. This ensures that records are kept up to date and where need be,
adjusted accordingly.
