Track crew acknowledgment

See who hasn't confirmed their assignment yet, and nudge them before it becomes a problem.

Assigning a crew member to a leg doesn't mean they've seen it. The Crew Ack panel on the dispatch board shows every assignment still unacknowledged, grouped by how close it is to departure.

  1. Open Dispatch and look at the crew rail's Crew Ack / Unacknowledged panel.
  2. Read the buckets from most to least urgent: < 2h to ETD, < 12h to ETD, < 24h to ETD, and > 24h to ETD. A row in the closest-to-departure bucket is the one to act on first.
  3. Select Re-nudge on a row to re-send the assignment notice — a push notification and an email fallback. The server rate-limits repeats, so re-nudging the same row twice in a row returns a "just nudged" message instead of spamming the crew member.
  4. If a crew member has declined instead of just not answering, the row shows the decline and a Reassign action, which narrows the crew rail to legal replacements for that specific leg so you can fix it from the same screen.

A nudge's outcome is recorded honestly, not assumed: a push either sent to a real device, found no device on file, or failed; an email either queued for delivery or was skipped because the crew member has no email on file. Neither is ever recorded as "delivered" — the panel only shows what it can actually prove happened.

Assigning the crew in the first place is covered in Assign crew and aircraft to legs.
