Multiple crew can participate in a flight's Spidertxt thread

Problem:

Today only one device can be paired to a Spider, so a flight's Spidertxt thread is visible to a single crew member. Multi-pilot crews and medical/EMS teams operating from the same aircraft don't share visibility of inbound or outbound messages, limiting shared situational awareness during diversions, mechanical events, and operational coordination.

Desired outcome:

Multiple crew members on the same flight — pilots and, where applicable, medical/EMS personnel — can see and contribute to the flight's Spidertxt thread from their own devices.

Proposed change:

Allow up to 3 users per flight to participate in the Spidertxt thread for that aircraft, with messages visible across all paired devices.

    Hi all, thanks for your patience on this request - we've been working on and are about to release a new Flight Ops messaging feature that is a solid base to build multi-crew comms on top of. This new flight/mission centric messaging feature makes it easier for crew and support teams to stay connected and coordinated. To learn more about this ahead of release, and to discuss how multi-crew comms layer on top, please feel encouraged to reach out to our team.

    Hi, and thanks for adding this to our portal. I'm glad to share this is already on our roadmap and we're intending to deliver this feature in the 2nd half of this year. It will only be supported for Spider X devices.
