AFIDS 2.0 is coming!

Our online flight coordination software is getting a big upgrade very soon!

We are looking for a few pilots to help with the testing. Volunteers?

Pilot user group
We need a user group of members who would be willing to try a few defined tasks in the new system. This group should include different types of members, for example:
● Active pilots who search for missions and request them
○ Pilots with different kinds of airplanes, or who like different kinds of missions
● Earth angels
● Flight coordinators, hotline representatives

A group of 6-12 members should be sufficient for the user group.
We will provide these members with a list of tasks to complete and some simple instructions on how to complete them, as well as a way to provide us with feedback

Email Steve if you're interested. steve.purello@mercymail.org
