01 Three ways in
A live link beats a file every time. Pick whichever your crew system can give you.
A calendar link — updates by itself
A subscription address (https://…ics or webcal://…) pasted on crew.wings-above.com. We re-read it about every 30 minutes, so swaps and reroutes follow on their own. Delta, RosterBuster users, and anyone whose crew app writes to the phone calendar.
A downloaded file — a snapshot
An .ics or .vcs file you export and upload. It stopped changing the moment it was saved, so you upload a fresh one when your line changes. The display warns you four days before it runs out. FLICA airlines and AA Crew Check In.
A union calendar — hands-off
The server link, username and password from APA Calendar Sync. We read that calendar every half hour. The one place we hold a login, stored sealed and erased when you disconnect. American pilots.
02 Find your airline
Every step on this page was read from the crew system's own help, or a crew-app maker's. Where nobody documents a way, we say so. Each airline also has its own page, easier to share with the person doing the setup.
| Airline / system | What it gives you | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Delta · MiCrew | Syncs into your phone's calendar; that calendar becomes a webcal:// link | Link |
| American · AA Crew Check In | Exports an .ics file | File |
| American · APA Calendar Sync | A calendar account: server link, username, password | Union |
| Spirit, Frontier, JetBlue, Hawaiian, Republic, Endeavor, PSA, Piedmont, WestJet, Air Wisconsin, Mesa, Porter, Jazz · FLICA | Export Schedule saves SCHEDULE.VCS, one month at a time | File |
| United · CCS | No export of its own. ezCCS, Flight Crew View or RosterBuster put the line on your phone | Share a calendar |
| Southwest · CrewView | CrewView can export; if it gives an .ics file, upload it | Share a calendar |
| RosterBuster · any airline | Its own WebCal link under Settings › Calendar | Link |
| Flight Crew View · any airline | Writes to a phone calendar you choose | Share a calendar |
03 Delta — MiCrew
MiCrew writes your line into a calendar on the phone named MiCrew. Sharing that one calendar gives a live link, and your personal calendar stays yours.
- Turn on Auto-Sync. In MiCrew: Menu › Settings › Calendar. Set up Auto-Sync and turn off "Sync By Flight". Choose the option for the calendar being on this device.
- Find the MiCrew calendar. Wait about half a minute. Open the iPhone Calendar app, tap Calendars at the bottom, and tap the (i) next to MiCrew.
- Make it public and copy the link. Turn on Public Calendar, tap Share Link, copy it. It starts webcal://p69-caldav.icloud.com/published/…
- Paste it. On crew.wings-above.com pick Delta, paste the link, check the flights shown back are yours, then type the code into the display.
04 American — two ways
The simplest is a file from the official app. The hands-off one is APA Calendar Sync.
AA Crew Check In — a file
- Export the calendar. The official AA Crew Check In app has a Calendar Export that saves your schedule as an ICS file. Save it to your phone.
- Upload it. On crew.wings-above.com pick American, use Upload a downloaded file, check the flights, type the code into the display.
- Export again when your line changes. A file is a snapshot. The display tells you four days before it runs out.
APA Calendar Sync — updates by itself
- Open Calendar Sync. In the APA app, open Calendar Sync and pick the iCloud tab. Add Calendar if there is none.
- Copy all three. The Subscription Link (Server), the Username, and the password shown on that screen.
- Connect it. On crew.wings-above.com pick American, open Connect a union calendar, paste all three, check the flights, type the code into the display.
05 FLICA airlines
Spirit, Frontier, JetBlue, Hawaiian, Republic, Endeavor, PSA, Piedmont, WestJet, Air Wisconsin, Mesa, Porter, Jazz. FLICA only downloads a file, one month at a time, so this is the upload route.
- Show the month. In FLICA open Information and Tools › FLICA Calendar and show the month you want. The export covers only the month you are looking at.
- Export Schedule. Click Export Schedule. In the Schedule Exporter choose Use .VCS Format (or Mac iCalendar), tick the pairings you want, click Send, then Save.
- Upload the file. It is called SCHEDULE.VCS; Safari sometimes saves it as SCHEDULE.VCS.ICS. Either is fine. On crew.wings-above.com pick your airline and use Upload a downloaded file.
- Next month too. Export it once it is awarded, and upload that file when this one runs out. The display reads "Uploaded schedule ends …" in its footer from four days out.
06 United
United's crew system publishes no calendar export, and Crew Companion was retired in September 2026.
If you use ezCCS, Flight Crew View or RosterBuster to get your line onto your phone, the any-airline route below works. If you have found another way, tell us and we will write it here.
07 Southwest
The CrewView app says it can print and export, but nobody documents what it produces.
If it gives you an .ics file, use Upload a downloaded file on crew.wings-above.com. Otherwise the any-airline route below works. A Southwest pilot who walks this with us once would settle it for everyone.
08 Any airline — share one phone calendar
Whatever already puts your line on your phone, then one shared calendar.
- Get the schedule onto your phone. Your crew app's own sync, or an app such as Flight Crew View or RosterBuster. If it lands in your main calendar, first make a separate calendar for it (Calendar app › Calendars › Add Calendar) and point the app there, so your personal events stay private.
- iPhone: share that calendar. Calendar app › Calendars › tap the (i) next to it › turn on Public Calendar › Share Link, and copy it.
- Android or a computer: Google's secret address. Google Calendar on a computer › Settings › that calendar › Integrate calendar › copy the Secret address in iCal format. It is not shown in the phone app, and a work or school account's admin can hide it.
- RosterBuster users can skip all that. app.rosterbuster.aero › Settings › Calendar (under Export) › copy the WebCal link.
- Paste it. On crew.wings-above.com, check the flights shown back, type the code into the display.
09 Pairing it with the display
The same four steps whichever way the schedule came in. Takes a couple of minutes, once.
- Open crew.wings-above.com on your phone or a computer, and pick your airline. This is what turns a bare "2214 MSP-ATL" into a flight we can follow.
- Give it the schedule. Paste the link, upload the file, or connect the union calendar.
- Check the flights. The page reads back your next few days. If they are not yours, it is the wrong calendar, not a mistake you made.
- Type the six-digit code into the display. Menu › Crew › Setup › Use a code from my phone. It works once and expires in 15 minutes. Then Use as the main display if you want the whole screen.
