Yes, but I prefer going directly the source and looking at MARS/MACS because cabin/flight crew are only given numbers 72 hours in advance, whereas the reservation and control systems have the magical "forecast", which is usually extremely accurate - and that is available at any time :)

The newest cabin crew app for iOS shows Gold/Plat/iO numbers.

Interesting! This is the latest Samsung/Android app (which doesn't allow screenshots!). And this is the flight crew app not cabin crew, apparently they're different?

Yes - I think the flight crew app shows full payload data, but that's not on the cabin crew one. The cabin crew one (now called crewpulse, instead of icrew or FABS - you can see where EK spends its IT budget) has more pax data like status.

Maybe they'll make them the same, who knows!

The cabin crew app also incorporates the cabin crew staff lists (i.e. you can click on a flight, see who's working with it, their picture, their phone number, staff number etc., see their roster for the month), and flight crew can no longer access that as of a few years ago because of, basically, sexual harassment.

Flight crew can look up the other pilots on their flights though and their rosters, but online on GroupWorld

Yeah, I wasn't too clear: I mean flight crew can't stalk cabin crew and vice versa - each group can see what others doing the same job are doing though!

That said, easy enough to see if you know anyone as any captain is likely to...!

For reference, here's a screenshot from the latest iOS crew app at T-72 hours.

Is VIP better than I/o?

How can I get a hold of this app? Using the app store? Running iOS on iphone/ipad. Do I need to have crew credentials to login?

:D this is strictly EK cabin crew only. Even pilots don't have access

So, apparently, several frequent flyers managed to get an access to these "strictly EK cabin crew only Apps" ^

I'm afraid that the screenshots (app, macs..) could be strictly, very, very, confidential (could, That's just a guess). I wouldn't make much fuss on public forums if I was using something I am not intended/allowed/granted to use.

If a traveler can access to this sensitive information, it means that a competitor can also find one, for example. Honestly, I'm not sure EK will appreciate this if they find out this thread.

Scaring...

Pretty sure none of those here who've posted images have direct access ourselves. We know someone at EK who has legitimate access and as a favour asked them to provide us this information (this is quite common). I'm quite certain EK monitors these fora and would already be aware (such screenshots have been posted on here several times before). But yes of course it is confidential and I at least only occasionally post these and when doing so in the context of a broader discussion about such tools (as here) rather than to provide specific information on an individual flight.

I can promise you competitors will be accessing this data somehow, with thousands of cabin crew it'd be easy to find one who'd accept a "consulting fee" for providing such info.

Okay that make sense :)

Operationally, no, just similar handling (e.g. gate escort) - a few corporate contracts (think media) will arrange for some of their pax to have it on their BP.

VVIP is better than iO though.

They have now restricted it to one device/one password so only the crew member has access ie it can't be shared and has to come from them directly.

Yup and the Android one doesn't permit screenshots
