I have been using www.divvy.com for quite a few months now for scheduling Stewie, my Cessna 172P that is at Boeing Field. For years I was using www.schedulemaster.com, which was great - but is geared more toward flight schools and flying clubs with several aircraft. Cascade Flyers' member, Aaron, started Divvy.com and is constantly improving the site - what a great concept!
Aaron sent a message recently saying, "Do you have any pilot friends that share their airplane? I could use another airplane example as soon as possible! Can you hook a brutha up?"
So, calling all airplane owners in Cascade Flyers, NGPA and everywhere - if you would like to loan your airplane perhaps on the open pilot warranty feature of some insurance policies, or if you have multiple partners, divvy.com would be a great way for scheduling and paying.

If you think about it for a moment and let your imagination roam - divvy.com would be great for many useful things. For example, I would love a divvy.com car on the each of the San Juan Islands! When we fly to Orcas/Eastsound, Lopez or Friday Harbor we could venture away from the airport more than just walking distance! You could fly to the Island on Rose Air for example then use a divvy.com car - great idea, eh?
You can actually create anything to loan - not just airplanes, boats, cars, garages, or tools. You can offer services, appointments or events too. Divvy.com is supported by a tiny fee that comes off the transaction so no subscriptions or memberships. Nice. Thank-you Aaron for creating divvy.com!
Thanks for mentioning http://www.divvy.com and the idea of an end-to-end Divvy experience.
I once flew to the OR coast on a whim and had to cross my fingers that the rental car would be available.
The spontaneous, fly-by-the-seat of my pants attitude is fun sometimes, but so is knowing that a car belonging to people I trust will be there when I need it. :)
