I tried this link and was able to download successfully. When I try to use the application my phone gives me an error message and freezes up. I tried to uninstall and re-install and same problem.
Any Ideas to help a brother out? I haven't had Icrew for a while now since the latest FireFox came out and I made the mistake of updating the old FireFox.
My phone is an HTC Evo and I have sprint as my carrier.
Thanks in advance

I'm not so much an Android fan as I am anti-Apple fascism. Apple makes great products but limits what you can do with them while charging you $$$.
Android is much more wide open, which can lead to self-inflicted problems but in general offers more choices for hardware and carrier.
iOS is definitely more mature, but as I heard from people standing in line at Verizon stores returning their iPhones -- iPhone isn't 4G/LTE and I had to pay more for my apps.
If you are all squared away using iPhone for all your work stuff, then there is nothing wrong with staying on that platform as long as you don't expect 4G speeds out of the next version of the iPhone rumored to be released in Sept/Oct.
If you don't mind tinkering with things to customize your phone the way you like it, rather than just accept what Steve Jobs says is your optimum look and feel, then by all means try Android.
This debate is a lot like the Boeing vs Airbus debate, everyone likes different things for different reasons and everyone hates those same things for different reasons.
Android answers: iCrew - yes with Fennec/Firefox 4.0b4, list for flight - yes, put in for WS - yes, put in for GS - havent tried it but same screen as WS.
Firefox has its quirks in iCrew. Travelnet can be accessed with the DolphinHD Browser (free) as well as Firefox, but some of the pulldown menus are touchy.

I'm very curious about the Android platform phones. The iPhone is my first & only smartphone so I know nothing but it. I would like to be able to view Flash videos, & a few other things like listening to hockey games via Internet for free. Come this fall I may take the leap.
Thanks for your insight.

Yet additional proof that there is no such thing as thread jacking the L&G. Grannies firing machine guns. Ain't the USA grand.

Pardon the short commercial first... and the Italian sub titles. This is one of my favorite musical performances from the show:

Just reading the after action reports of the Paris Air Show. Basically every manufacturer is now sold out through 2018 - 2019. So if Delta intended to order any jets, there now aren't but a handful of slots open anywhere the rest of this decade.
Several apparent trends (based on current available information):
Flying old airplanes on a short term basis is a tactical decision. Getting locked out of the market behind 1,000 jets ordered by your competitors is strategic.
Many have noticed Republic has placed an order for two nearly identically performing airplanes, the A319NEO and C Series. That makes no sense unless they're figuring on using them in a separate operation.
Several apparent trends (based on current available information):
- Delta sees no need for approximately 1/3 of our physical training resources
- Delta does not anticipate needing more training space in Atlanta
- Less training resources means fewer pilot can be put through what we have
- Rather large pilot retirements are looming on the visible horizon. Flight Operations is repeating the "pilot shortage" talk.
- Delta's 100 aircraft narrow body jet RFP is insufficient to replace the current fleet and even if the order is placed, delivery before hitting life cycle limits on our current jets is questionable
- Operating costs of Delta's fleet will be 8% to 20% higher than our competitors at the end of the decade. On the MD88 that differential may be significantly higher than 20%.

I am not as worried as you for two reasons
First I do not believe this pilot group will allow the sale of 100 seat scope.Too many of us have been harmed by scope sales in the past. For the most part the captains I fly with agree with that.
Second, a lot of those orders are not firm orders. I think when the time comes a Delta comes to the table with firm orders the slots will open. Remember the boys in Seattle owe us. Also do not under estimate Anderson and his ability to put Airbus against Boeing.
I don't care who we order airplanes from, whether it is A, B, or C, it will be flown by mainline pilots.
