This is a neat feature I have seen in Airline 7 game...adjusting flight speed (default 100%) to e.g. 95% (1% point decrement), etc. to match departure and arrival slots. I don't know how difficult this would be to implement in the current environment, but it looks to me like a great idea.
Haha,
I have already thought a thousand times: I wish I could tell my pilots to fly a little slowlier, then at least the slots at the other end would fit.
It is on the same list like:
I wish people didn't do flights on mondays, wednesdays and thursdays. because I hate to organise a daily flight with several departure times and unique flight numbers.
and
I wish my staff (that costs millions every week) could actually do some flight scheduling for me :-)
But I never thought about asking if what you ask is possible. It would certainly help. Mind you, it would also mean that the last remaining slots would quickly be taken...

This is a good idea! Not only to allow you to fit into slots but to save money on fuel costs. I believe airlines in real life do this to save money on fuel on flights!
Ya it is really annoying when you try to schedule LHR or DOH and your only open slot combo is taken by some other airline.....
Although this would probably make LHR and DOH *MORE* congested...
