I know that most of us use the website as part of the normal GC ops. Here are some "hidden" features that you may or may not have been aware of:
  • Those tails at the top of the page are clickable and will take you straight to the operations page for the respective division.
  • On the roster (http://www.globecargova.org/Pilots/roster.php), you can click on the hours to view all your PIREPS. We keep maps and detailed info about a flight for about 6 months after it is filed.
  • You can view a pilot's info by clicking on their name on the roster page.
  • You can change a lot of the information on that page by editing your profile. http://www.globecargova.org/Pilots/editprofile.php This page can also be used to change your password.
  • All passwords are kept encrypted in the database. The staff cannot see your password, all we can do is to have the system send you a new one.
  • Make sure to check the "Remember me." box on the home page. That will set a cookie in your browser and you will not need to login again unless your password changes.
  • Those stats on the left of the home page get generated every night. Don't panic if the numbers don't increase right away after you have submitted your PIREP! :)
As always, we welcome suggestions on how to make the website more user friendly!
