I like the new flight planner, have one question, would it be at all possible to have a feature where when you add a flight to the flight board, you could add the date in which you intend to fly it, ie I like to roster myself flights a few days out, but at the moment on the planner it only shows the same/next day, could it be possible to include dates a few days out, as I like to schedule tours, ie JFK-SFO then SFO-ATL, ATL-JFK etc, you could then also schedule back trips if you are doing out and back trips

Even a calendar which you could click a date then add flight

Thanks
Jamie

Great idea Jamie,

Additionally, can you show on the schedule which day the flights are available? I have tried the duty schedule with a few flights, then when I am ready to fly a particular leg, it isn't available for that day (it seems) and the system asks for a repair or removal of the leg.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, in the flight assignment page on the web page, it just sits there until you complete it

Overall, this flight planner is awesome. Way more user friendly and a better interface than the "Find A Flight" on the website. One thing I would like to see added the scheduled equipment for a particular flight. Sometimes I like to keep it historical with what was flown but as of now, that does not seem to be visible. Also, what do the different colors for the airports in the table mean. I noticed some airport codes are highlighted in green, blue, and red.

EDIT: Green appears to be airports with Vatsim ATC Coverage
