Flightline
Signup Phase 2 |
Flightline - Phase 2!
As previously announced, we have chosen Flightline as the replacement for
CompuServe to provide remote access to CATCREW. The first implementation phase
(which began April 20 for Pittsburgh-based crewmembers) was very successful and
Flightline will be providing service to all bases starting on April 29.
Each of you should have received an instructional brochure in your personal
mailbox. The brochure provides instructions on activating your account and
downloading the free FlightCrew Connector software. If you are unable to pick up
your brochure, please follow these steps:
1. Go to the Flightline website: www.FLiCA.Net ;
2. Click on the link to "Logon" (top left of the screen)
3. Click on the button for "First-Time User Account Activation"
4. Fill in your personal information and create your account
5. Download and install the "FlightCrew Connector" software from the
website www.FLiCA.Net ;
6. Open the program and fill in the required fields on the Setup screen before
attempting to connect
When you signup with Flightline, you have two options, both of which provide
UNLIMITED access to US Airways CATCREW from home and portable access from almost
any Internet connection. Flightline is offering a 30-day FREE subscription to
allow you to use their products and services.
Option 1: Access to CATCREW (via FlightCrew Connector) using any Internet
Service Provider (ISP)
* Cost: $9.95/month access fee
* Access is available using Cable, DSL, Satellite, Dial-up, etc.
* No CD required for this option - download software and signup at www.FLiCA.Net
Option 2: Access to CATCREW (via FlightCrew Connector) using Flightline
as your ISP
* Cost: $19.95/month access fee ($10.00/month ISP fee, plus $9.95/month)
* Use over 850 local phone numbers throughout the US to dial in to CATCREW
* If you have Cable, DSL, or Satellite connections at home, this option allows
you to use dial-up access while away from home.
* Use the Flightline Internet Service CD and the instructions distributed in the
Crew room to signup for this service.
Two questions that have come up on several occasions are:
1. Will WinBid work with Flightline? A solution to allow CATS access for WinBid
users will begin testing in the next several days.
2. Will Flightline work with Apple compatible computers? The current version of
Flightline will not work with Apple computers. Flightline is currently working
on a way to access CATCREW from any Internet connected PC regardless of
operating system. This will allow any Java enabled browser to access the system
including Macintosh. This software is in development and should be available in
late summer.
For more details, drop by the Crew room, pick up a brochure, or call Flightline
at 1-800-659-9859 or signup at www.FLiCA.Net.
