Crew and crew phones

Each unit has seats — Pilot, Med 1, Med 2 and Mechanic — and the medical and mechanic seats each carry a crew phone.

  • Crew phone — a shared phone that stays with the seat. It signs in to Skids Up with a code sent to its number, and it's where calls, alerts and chat for that seat go.
  • Personal phone — a crew member's own number, kept on file so dispatch can reach them. AMT never sends codes, texts or alerts to it.
  • Position — a crew member's classification: Medic, Mechanic or Ground Crew (or Pilot).

You'll see all three in the unit drawer and the call drawer's Crew and acknowledgement card.

Change who's on a unit​

Admins set the crew on the unit's record: Settings → Company data → Units, then the unit.

A unit's crew and crew phones

  1. Crew — pick the person for each seat.
  2. Crew phone — pick the phone for Med 1, Med 2 and Mechanic. Med 1 and Med 2 must have different phones.
  3. Company data — where units, crew and crew phones are managed.

Save changes when you're done.

Move someone who's on another unit​

People and phones already on another unit show that unit's name in the list. Pick them anyway and you'll be asked to confirm; when you save, they're taken off the other unit. Dispatchers (admins and comm specialists) can do this at any time.

When a pilot asks to move crew​

Pilots set their own crew in Skids Up. If they pick someone who's already on another unit, the change becomes a reassignment request instead of happening straight away. It appears in Notifications for whoever is on the AOC desk to Approve reassignment or Reject (with a reason). Every request and its outcome is kept in the Reassignment report.
