Why I love Crewsware more than cereal
There was a time back in the day, in the way way back, before Netflix, before tight trousers and funny collars when it took time, minutes to tens of hours to understand how my life would unfold in the month to come.
Friends, family, even complete strangers would ask “are you around next week? What time can you come over and unplug my drain? Check my oil?”
I would look at the PBS dot matrix print out, compare with the Kruz details and I would say “maybe Tuesday of the third week, but can't tell if I am home late Monday or early Tuesday....I will get back to you”. I would show them the printout and after a quick squint, they would say, “well you let me know”.
But through the fog of the antiquated IT morass that was (or “is”, can I say that?) rose a friendly zombie arm, a beacon of clarity and colour...something I could both understand and use, two things missing in my AC scheduling life up that point.
Now, I can hand anyone, my wife, that total stranger or even Santa my Crewsware Family Calendar and they immediately are aware of my comings and goings and where I can be used and abused outside of my Air Canada obligations.
The Expense Tracker, or as I call it, Dave's Honey Pot, has turned up so much extra cash that was dichotom-ily both extra and not extra that I have been able to fund grooming school for both myself and my dog...enabling me to pick up more than just poop at the park! Hubba hubba wink wink.
Additionally, I remember a day at breakfast in Shanghai, a slender, young looking 777 first officer approached my table, sat down and said, “I see you did your check ride on the DC9 on November 15 with a Captain Blah Blah...”
I was astounded. I was amazed. I was wary and a little disturbed. Was I being stalked? Was I just too damn attractive? Who was this man across the table from me espousing details of my private life over dim sum and half a pound of bacon?
My fears were soon quashed as I learned of the log keeping aspect of Crewsware. I stated that the gentleman should have perhaps opened with that information. Predatory meals aside, it is simply amazing and has saved me many many hours of writing this and recording that.
It has left me with even more time with the dog, the poop and the park. Wink wink. Stoop stoop.
Finally, the Pairing Filters coupled with the Award Builder is probably my favourite of all aspects of the Crewsware universe. I compare it to the time I used to spend hovering over PBS pairings, printing out 400 pages and the math involved, don't get me started! It gives me the chills to think of having to go between base 60 with the minutes and hours and adding or using base 10 decimal for the hours....can I get a Hallelujah for Crewsware? Props! Sweet mother of Davie! Respect!
In conclusion, Crewsware has been both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because of all the features it has and a curse because now I have no excuse to screw up my bid, lose money on expenses or hide stuff from my wife.
Yours in sweet reverence,
ABOUT CREWSWARE
Crewsware is a dynamic, innovative and data analysis scheduling software company. Our main objective is to make the lives of our customers easier through user friendly software, encompassing numerous tools, resources, and visually engaging easy to read displays.
Initially our primary focus was airline scheduling software. We concentrated on creating easy to read family oriented schedule displays that would provide the most amount of information in the friendliest format.
Over time we found that our customers appreciated our thirst for improvement and expansion. Gradually we have added tools and resources to our web site that allows our customers to control various aspects of their busy work life.
Our team of programmers have created tools which include pay and expense tracking, a totally automated government compliant log book, both DC and DB pension estimators, a position planner
which allows the customers to plot various scenarios for career projection, plus bidding and award tools which simplify the monthly process, just to name a few. We have also added many resources for our customers, currency conversion tables, weather forecasts, hotel information, layover tips and many others. Our thirst for expansion and improvement is unlimited.
In addition to the subscription service we have become known for, we have also expanded our knowledge base to include operational and historical utilization analysis in the airline world. Our company has worked with many North American airlines and airline unions to help them resolve their individual needs, including pension projection and pay auditing. From determining cost efficiencies to creating custom software, we have helped our clients realise their full potential.
Of course like any forward thinking company, we won’t be stopping there. Stay tuned...
