Also I wanted to mention that currently the crew passes are not shown on the flight history pages or in your COMPLETED flights log (it currently shows flight data like a traditional PIREP). But I plan on updating this soon.
We just couldn't wait to release these for us all - it's been over a year in the works and even longer in planning!

Hey Tom
Could/Would you fill us in on the History of the CP as it relates to AirSource?
I would like to know the back story on how this came about. Who's idea was it? Where did the idea come from, etc?
I am 'all in' brother! This is very cool!

Haha glad to hear Don. Thanks for asking, and it might interest some to read how the CP came about, so I'm happy to explain.
Probably 3 or more years ago I started with thinking about introducing digital cards of some kind like playing cards, made some images but was generally unhappy with the "basis" of why we would use "cards".

Above is one of the original images I created, but was unhappy with
Then one day many months later I thought about tickets, why not tickets?
[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]
Here is one of the original crew passes from our "old server", generated in ASP.
So I still pushed ahead with presenting the idea to our EMT team - and that is where the bigger think tank started to shape the Crew Passes we see today. I still have the document (because we have many other cool things happening with CP's in the future and need to refer to it when programming!). Instrumental input from Norm, Mark, Roy, Henk, Alan and of course during the programming stages Joe really made things click. We generated samples and named them "Pilot Passes" at the time.
In fact a bit later in production, one the most important suggestions came form Mark, who suggested categorizing them as a "Flight Crew Pass" instead of "Pilot Pass". We all loved the suggested name, shortened it by taking out "Flight", and nothing more need be said 8)
Now they are generated images (some on the "fly" - no pun intended!) all in PHP, and believe me, it took a lot of work but we hope they give some extra lift of both interest in the flights themselves and our members as well!
We're just getting started, I feel this is going to bring out even more creative spirit from our flight managers, and save them some time as well (by not having to create HTML for bid flights, etc.)
