I'm not trying to get you to part with $10. I don’t have any stake in the app.

Two things for me make it worthwhile. The offline schedule and the way it works as well as the ability to quickly contact anyone in the crew using the app. That alone makes it worth $10. Throw in the ease of accessing things like pay stubs and pay advice, vacancy bidding and flight info makes it an easy decision.

So I can log onto Flying Together, then employee services, my pay advice, payroll advice, and my pay stubs are listed.
or I can log onto EZCCS, click pay related, then pay advice, and my pay stubs are listed. That does save one click, I guess that qualifies as “So much easier’”

I tried EZCCS a few years back, found little use in it, and got rid of it when my year was up. I just got it again at the suggestion of other pilots, but still find it doesn’t do much that regular CCS doesn’t do. What do you all like about it so much? Everyone says to get it, but no one really says why.

I’ve got it for a year, so hopefully I’ll get used to it. I’ve been messing around with it more today and am learning it a little better.

I dunno how you currently log into CCS (desktop? iPad?). When I first got hired I couldn't get EZCCS because I didn't have an iPhone or even Android (don't ask), that was a very costly mistake because I couldn't realistically make trip trades on my phone. A couple years in when I did get an iPhone I finally got EZCCS. Within a few weeks that iPhone was paid for because I suddenly had the ability to make premium pickups from poolside. I tell every new hire I come across to not make my mistake and get EZCCS ASAP. $10 a year is a massive bargain for everything it makes EZ, even if you simply fly your awarded schedule.

Thanks for the superflous memo dude. But if you read what I said closely, you might have clued in on that I had to log onto those sources the hard way and then click my way to what I wanted (this was well before I could log into CCS alone with facial recognition). With EZ CCS I'm on the mobile device trade board with two taps in a few seconds. Trust me, every second counts. As I tell New Hires, when gunning for unanticipated PPU or similar opportunities inside the Real Time window the fastest beats the seniorist. For a New Hire, snagging even a single one day PPU trip would pay for a careers worth of EZCCS. And it's nice to list for commute flights while walking to the gate too.

Whatever dude. You do you. I'm not dicking around guessing every trip if a CA is going to contact me or meet in the FPA or at the plane. Maybe you missed the part where I added "unless I hear back from you". Yeah, CA is always free to tell me to meet in the FPA. About 90% specifically commented that they appreciated the contact.
And if I don't hear from him and I go to the FPA and he doesn't..? Efff that. Waist your own time if you want to, not mine. A few times twidling my thumbs in the FPA as a newb to UA was enough shenanigans. Not gonna guess if the next guy is the 1/100 that actually goes to the FPA - the same that don't put any contact info in CCS.
