On the Jumpseat finder, the saved and notify buttons are not intuitive. Are they active? Do you push them to make them active? Make them on/off or red/green.
Assuming you’re drawing off the same database as other popular flight search apps, could you add displaying “aircraft’s previous flight” to the jumpseat finder? When real time delay information is displayed, it’s very helpful to see when the aircraft will arrive inbound to determine if the airline’s estimated departure time is realistic. This functionality would allow me to use this app 100% of the time when I need to search for flights.
Can not select dates to look up a jumpseat in the the second half of every month. The calendar doesn’t move to allow access to these dates and the app will not allow you to manually type in the date. So it is basically useless if you are trying to look up flights after the 15-20th of the month.
As of about a month ago, I am unable to move the calendar up to get past the second row of dates. This makes it impossible to select flights for the second half of the month. Please fix this soon! iPhone SE, 2nd Gen.
Works fine on the new iPad. Could use links to more info/documents/magazines etc. Also would be nice to have a feedback/message system built in to different departments, possibly, instead of just printed email addresses of individuals..
With the new update, every button I push sends me to the iPhone settings screen for the app. And, if I don’t press a button within the app, I get sent to the settings screen anyways within a few seconds. It has made using the app almost useless as every time I get sent to settings. Please fix this soon. Thanks
I just tried to access the app (the only way to do a flight search for jumpseat), but I get a pop up window (DEV) Update Required sorry for the inconvience. Blue hyper link for Update takes me to the Apple App and I have the current version. I deleted and reinstalled and still same problem. Wish I could see how to get from Denver to Newark tonight.
Kudos to making the leap to version 4.0 of the ALPA app. I was pleasantly surprised to find a completely revamped app that looks cleaner and simpler to use. And there’s FINALLY a search feature for KCM airports! Great job on the Jumpseat section as well.
Although I have the current version, 4.2.5, opening up the app gives me a pop up that the app needs to be updated. Selecting the “Update” option sends me to the App Store which says I have the current version. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app but get the same results. Can’t open it and can’t use it.
I tried dozens of times to login using cellular data, which works for 99% of my app. The exception is ALPA app. WiFi only to do anything except stare at it. Not impressed
The latest update came with many cosmetic improvements that are very welcoming. However, 80% of the features crash when used. I would greatly prefer the previous version for its functionality over the current version for its looks.
Good start. I like the layout and all the JS info is readily accessible when running from gate to gate. Committee info and news items keep me up to date daily. Thanks...
When reading docs, switching from portrait to landscape on my phone screws up the doc—black screen, jumbled pages, can’t swipe. Also needs a search function for docs.
I used to be a communications volunteer and know the capabilities, this is a far cry from what it should offer. There are so many possibilities and this doesn't even come close, if you get the fastreads, don't bother with the app.
Previous versions of this app were very helpful. Now when I try to look up any MEC/LEC or personal information the app crashes. It seems to work ok on iPad but not iPhones.
The ALPA App is a valuable tool for ALPA members and the aviation community. Our unique Flight Finder allows ALPA members to search jumpseat availability across commercial and most cargo carriers and see airline-specific jumpseat information and airport KCM locations—and now you can save flights to be notified of flight status changes. Log in with your ALPA ID to access MEC and LEC documents and resources, submit a DART, or contact ALPA representatives.
