changing Email for Acars

Good morning Bill,

It's a bit complicated here at SPA in that we basically have two accounts for each pilot - one for all things website related and another for all things related to your pilot record.  You can only change website related information and hub managers can only change your pilot record.  The webmaster has access to both areas so I was able to see your change once you notified me through your forum post and make similar change to your pilot record.

Pilots will want to notify their hub manager of email changes so that we can ensure that both areas get updated, as the pilot record (or ACARS email as you refer to it) is the one we primarily refer to when contacting pilots - and, the one that is used for PIREP confirmation.

The website profile email is important too because it is where you get password reset information, forum post following when activated and other website notifications that might exist now or in the future.

It was a great question.  Sorry about the long answer.

John
