The point of DutyFlip is that you don't have to work out whether a swap fits your roster. The app does it. Here's how to find one.
Browse what's on offer
Open the Planner. On the calendar, a green plane badge under a day means there are swaps that day you could take. Tap the day to see them under On offer from colleagues.
Prefer a list? Tap the filter button at the top right and choose List to see the month's swaps day by day. In the same menu, choose Only ones that fit to hide anything that clashes.
Legal or Clash
Every swap is tagged:
- Legal: it fits your roster.
- Clash: something gets in the way.
Open a swap and look at Checks. It tells you what clashes, for example "Clashes with your DLM on Mon 26", and gives a guide check against UK flight time limits: duty, rest and recovery. Tap a line to see the detail.
Fix a clash by offering something back
Often the thing in the way is one of your own duties. Open the clash and DutyFlip shows which of your duties you could offer back in the same request: the colleague takes yours, you take theirs. Tap it to add it to your request.
Ask for it
- Check You get and You give at the top.
- Under You'd give, add a duty if they've asked for something back, or leave it empty to simply take the trip.
- Add a message if you like, and tap Ask to take this (or Propose swap if you're giving something back).
A private chat opens with the colleague. You can withdraw the request any time before it's accepted.
Is it free? Yes. While DutyFlip grows, unlimited requests and alerts are free for everyone. When Pro arrives, Free will include one swap request a month.
The flight time limits check is a guide only. Crewing always makes the decision.
