A-320 type rating brings up Falcon 50-F5 when adding the model
Please the title. When adding the model to upload hours, the A-320 somehow has the Falcon 50-F5 attached to it.

Delete/Edit Education Entries
I want to be able to delete or edit specific education entries on my profile. Currently, I have duplicate information and there is no delete button to remove it.
Completed
Modify submitted quotes
I want to be able to modify a quote after submission. For example, I realized I was missing a hotel night after seeing the full itinerary and couldn't update the quote. This is important because currently there is no way to fix errors or omissions once a quote is sent.
Completed
Foreflight Logbook Upload
Give pilots the ability to upload their logbook and have it automatically populate their Hours and Training page, pilot history form, and public profile
Completed
Military Service Record
For prior military pilots, have a page on their profile in order to showcase their service history and flying experience.
Completed
Credentials
Consider adding a field to enter OTHER credentials, or specifically, the Master Aviator certification issued through Flight Safety. The Master Aviator requirements are fairly significant and include training sims or CBT modules such as Energy Management, UPRT, Go / No-Go, LOFT, etc.
Operator Function - Contractor Search
It might be nice to be able to see (as an operator) all the pilots total time, time in type, and location to be able to source contractors from. Essentially a contractor list, but held within Flying Company. For example, I’m looking for local pilots that fit insurance requirements for the open pilot policy and it would be nice to see, at a glance how many are available. I’m not sure a name needs to be included at this point, to prevent scalping of business, but simply an option for an operator to make an inquiry to a specific contractor (without name and simply on qualification and location).
Print/Download Quote
After creating a quote, it might be nice to download a quote for personal record-keeping purposes. A simple button labeled “Download Submitted Quote” or something to that effect might suffice. When pressed, a .pdf download would start.

Drop-down for LOA's
We already ask a question about whether an aircraft is qualified for RVSM, but probably need to add the other ones in there as well. We could probably do a multi-select drop-down so that Operators could add all that were applicable. A056: Data Link Communications B036: Oceanic and Remote Continental Navigation Using Multiple Long-Range Navigation Systems (M-LRNS) B039: Operations in North Atlantic High-Level Airspace (NAT HLA) B046: Operations in Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) Airspace B054: Oceanic and Remote Airspace Navigation Using a Single Long-Range Navigation System C048: Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS) Operations C052: Straight-In Non-Precision, Approach Procedure with Vertical Guidance (APV), and Category I Precision Approach and Landing Minima - All Airports C063: Area Navigation (RNAV) and Required Navigation Performance (RNP) Terminal Operations C073: Vertical Navigation (VNAV) Instrument Approach Procedures (IAP) Using Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA) as a Decision Altitude (DA)/Decision Height (DH) D095: MMEL used as an MEL
Completed
Full-Time Job Postings
A number of operators have reached out asking if they could advertise full-time job openings to the database of pilots on Flying Company. Would you want to be notified of full-time job positions automatically? Would you want to opt-in for notifications? Let me know in the comments below.

Speed up loading of airports
Right now the airports take wayyy too long to load on the website. We are working to fix that.
In Progress
Text message alerts for new trips
Instead of only finding out about trip opportunities through email, we could introduce immediate text alerts as well so that pilots get the heads-up quicker.
Make Ratings/Reviews visible for both Pilots and Operators
We already ask that pilots and operators review each other after a trip. However, we have not made that information available to both parties yet. This is due to the fact that we are still trying to think through the most appropriate way of handling this information. Open to to suggestions as we brainstorm the best way of presenting this to the user.
Completed
Share trip + Referral System
Give pilots the ability to share a trip with a friend for a referral fee (if that friend ends up getting hired). So, even if you aren’t able to do a trip you might still be able to get some benefit by helping the operator find the the right pilot who is available
Add "Viewed" indicator for pilot trips
This indicator would visually show pilots if they have already taken a look at a trip so that they weren’t re-opening a trip that they already decided not to put a quote in for.
In Progress
FAA integration
Utilize the FAA API to import and update certificate/rating information based on pilots FTN (FAA Tracking Number)
Completed
Fix Expense Submittal / Review Page
We have received a lot of feedback from pilots and operators that we need to improve the process for adding expenses and reviewing the final invoice. We completely agree and hope to release an significant improvement to this within the next week
Completed
New Email Templates
We will be improving the email templates shortly. These new templates will include greater detail on the itinerary so that pilots can determine their suitability without necessarily needing to enter the Flying Company platform first.
