Just a minor cosmetic (but could also be strategic one) suggestion. On the Airport page - Tab 3 : Slots - Slots Distribution, currently we can see the following table:
Flight Number | Origin | Destination | Operator
My suggestion: add a new column for 'Aircraft Type'.
I believe the avgeek inside us will be thrilled to see the type we're flying into certain airports, or droll the types we assembled around our departure/arrival wave, as well as for strategic competitive purposes.
As simple as it sounds, hope the additional query to database is relatively light and not too much burden to the system.
I think the DB field has a flight number and aircraft type (seems logical) so it could possibly just mean displaying one additional part of the data entry from the DB (no additional DB queries). I assume this from how AS Route Map DB is set up, maybe AS proper is different, but most likely the DB structure for flight numbers is similar.
The chart showing slot availability - at 1400 on Wednesday, 91% of slots are used - and soforth. Its the same thing you see in scheduling an aircraft and you click the link to show slot availability at the origin or destination airport.
But there is nothing in the slots availability page about Flight Number, Origin, Destination etc... it just shows slots? And I don't understand what you mean about clinking a link during the scheduling of an aircraft. What link?

If you click the slot percentage, it brings up a list of who is flying into/out of the airport during that time.
Mainly, I use it to figure out who isn't flying daily, so that I can curse at them for leaving irregular slots.
Woaaaah what a revelation! I never knew that. Thanks to both of you!
serioouslyyyy... lol..

same with me lol, also to fix irregular slots and juggle some slots to accommodate other route pairs
very useful, very very useful *trump's hand style*

yeah, i guess when they query flight number, the could also get the aircraft type of the flight number, just a matter to display it, hopefully.
