Trip Calendar

One of the simplest truths in flight operations is that most stress comes from not seeing what’s coming far enough in advance.

Emails get buried. Text threads get messy. Trip records live in different places. And before long, someone is asking, “Wait, do we already have coverage for that trip next week?”

So we added something that feels obvious in hindsight: a real calendar.

The new Trip Calendar now lives right on the Trips page, visible to both operators and pilots. It shows every trip — past, present, and future — along with clear visual indicators for where action is still needed. Click on any trip, and you’re taken straight into the trip record to see details or take the next step.

No hunting. No guesswork. Just the schedule, exactly where you expect it.

For flight departments, this turns staffing from a reactive exercise into a planning tool. You can pull up the month and immediately see which trips are fully crewed, which ones still need contractor coverage, and which have pending action items. Instead of discovering gaps late in the game, they’re visible early, when there’s still time to solve them calmly.

For pilots, it becomes a personal operations view. You can see your confirmed flying, spot open days where you’re available for new trips, and keep track of things like hire confirmations or expense submissions. It replaces the mental juggling act of remembering what’s agreed, what’s tentative, and what still needs attention.

It’s a small feature on paper. But in daily use, it quietly becomes the heartbeat of the operation. Open the Trips page. Glance at the calendar. Click what needs attention. Move on with the day.

That’s the goal behind most of what we build at Flying Company. Remove friction. Increase clarity. Let operators and pilots spend less time managing logistics and more time flying.

And as always, we’ll keep improving it. But this first version already solves something important: giving everyone a shared, visual understanding of the schedule.
