Operations Control

I’d like to make some suggestions as to how the Operations Control could be improved.

As it is currently implemented, the OC has three drop-down boxes - fleet name, start time and length. The result is you see ALL the flights for a specific fleet regardless of where they are flying to or from.

The problems are -

  1. The “fleet” box presupposes how I am organizing my fleet categories. If I organize fleets by aircraft type or new/changed/mothballed or whatever - tough. I can’t see them all at the same time.

  2. I want to see how well the connections are working at a specific airport. If I have 100+ airports, all the other ones are of no interest.

  3. I can’t see how well my Interlining connections are working, which are just as important as my own.

  4. I’d like to see clearly which planes are arriving and which planes are departing at a specific airport. The current display makes zero distinction and is hard to read.

So, my proposals are -

  1. Either scrap the "fleet" dropdown box, or include an "all fleets" option.

  2. Add an "Airport" box. That way I can choose which airport I want to look at and ignore the others.

  3. Add an optional "Show ILs" checkbox so I can see the connections at my chosen airport.

  4. Add some kind of coding or indication to the bars to make it easier to see which are arrivals and departures.

  5. Add a vertical bar outlining my airport transfer time.

An idea of what I’m thinking of for the display

I am fully support your proposal. It will be very useful.
