Have planes and Timetables seperate


Recommended Posts

What would be great is if the airplane and the schedule were "separate entities", meaning you could create a schedule and then assign a plane to that schedule. When the time comes for either scrapping, selling, upgrading or even maintenance tasks you take a plane out of commission and assign that planes schedule to a different one.

EG: Upgrade a 737-800 to a 737 MAX 8? Or an A330 to an A350? Just give the schedule to the newly bought plane.

EG: Have an older fleet where a D-Check is due? Have one plane spare and "rotate" the schedules so one goes live, one goes to maintenance without having to rewrite the entire thing

While we're on the topic of scheduling: What I'd really like are line-breaks so you can better see at what time the airplane is free again. especially with international flights leaving close to midnight its really hard to see when the schedule extends that far to the right

I'm actually planning on something similar to this for maintenance update I'm working on (one of many big things I'm currently working on). While schedules would still be assigned to the plane, when the plane needs to go into maintenance it would automatically transfer that planes schedule to a different aircraft of the same type (and with same engine option) and same seating configuration. Once the plane goes out of maintenance it will sit without a schedule until another aircraft goes into maintenance etc.
