Messaging the others on a group flight

On a group flight several pilots of your airline book the same flight, and each flies as their own callsign (for example WZZ246, WZZ246A and WZZ246B). Vaeroly lists the others for you, so you can message them on Hoppie's free ACARS network without looking up their callsigns.

It needs EFB datalink on at your airline and your own Hoppie logon code saved in your account settings (see EFB datalink and traffic map). The others need their own code and their Datalink tab or ACARS open to read your message.

Who is on the flight

On your booking page, Others on this flight shows each other pilot booked on the same flight: their callsign, pilot number and name. Press a callsign to open the Datalink tab with it filled in.
In the EFB Datalink tab, the Others on this flight card shows the same list. Press a callsign to fill it in the Telex form, then write and press Send.
Datalink open next to a pilot means their datalink answered in the last few minutes, so they will likely read your message soon.
A dot next to a callsign means that pilot wrote last between the two of you: a message from them is waiting for your answer.

One message to all of them

In the Others on this flight card, write the message under Message to all of them and press Send to all. It goes as a telex from your callsign to each of the others (five at most), and each copy shows in your messages. Write it in English: Hoppie only carries English letters, digits and signs, up to 220 characters.

Each copy counts as one send, and the datalink allows six sends a minute. If one copy can't go, the tab says which pilots got it and which didn't.

For staff

On Staff → Operations → Dispatch, a flight booked by more than one pilot shows Send to all N pilots of this flight. Tick it to send your message to every pilot of the group, on ACARS and, with Also send on Hoppie ticked, from your airline's station to each callsign (see Messaging flights on Hoppie).
