We’ve been in the hangar making things sleeker, faster, and better to fly.
This week, we’re launching a revamped FlyHire Network UI and beginning the staged rollout of our new Auto Logbook + Flight Map system.

If you're already using the chat, following other pilots, or building your resume — you’re about to see major improvements to the way FlyHire looks, feels, and functions.

🧑‍✈️ A fresh new look for the FlyHire Network

We’ve completely reworked the UI for our pilot-focused social and messaging system. Here’s what’s new:

  • 🎛️ Streamlined feed layout that feels like a pilot log meets a mission briefing
  • 💬 Message-first design for faster access to chats, interview threads, and follow-ups
  • 🧭 Pilot, instructor, and employer profile badges — so you always know who you’re talking to
  • 📱 Mobile-friendly post creation with smart formatting for photos, hours, and milestones
  • 🕶️ Dark mode everything (because we know you’re on night ops)

You’ll feel it right away: cleaner design, faster response, and a smoother flow whether you’re making a post or messaging a recruiter.

📘 Posts are more powerful than ever

This update also unlocks the foundation for the full FlyHire Network experience, where you can:

  • Follow other pilots and instructors
  • Share new type ratings, job offers, or wins
  • Ask the community about interviews or aircraft transitions
  • Post milestones, cockpit pics, or quick tips

The new UI makes it easier to build visibility and credibility — without needing to overthink it like other platforms.

📒 The new Auto Logbook starts rolling out this week

One of our biggest backend upgrades is now hitting the tarmac:
The Auto Logbook + Map + Charts update is rolling out gradually to FlyHire users starting now.

✅ New features include:

  • 📍 Flight Map: see your logged routes and destinations on an interactive map
  • 📊 Flight Time Charts: breakdowns by PIC/SIC, IFR, turbine, and more
  • ✍️ Quick Add Tools: bulk logging of 91, 135, 121, or CFI time
  • 📄 Printable Reports for airline interviews and ATP applications
  • 🔄 Smart Syncing with Smart Resume and job matches

This week’s launch is soft, with expanded access rolling out to all users by next week.

🛫 What this means for you:

  • Your pilot experience will now be visual, filterable, and exportable
  • Your resume will auto-update when new time is logged
  • Employers can see your flying history more clearly and with context
  • Your FlyHire profile will become the only logbook you need to update

And it’s all optimized for mobile.

🛠️ Known issues we’re fixing:

  • Profile image glitches on iOS dark mode
  • Post rendering bugs for long bios
  • Chat notification delay on Android
  • Minor logbook sync hiccups with older resume versions

Thanks to everyone in beta who flagged bugs — your feedback helped us tighten up this release for the full rollout.
