ProPilot Return Flights

(1/3) > >>

EHM-1570 Bruce:
I don't know how other pilots feel about this little moan. Pilots are flying aircraft out of the various hubs and not returning to the hubs, this is fine if you are flying a round robin flight, because you lock the next flight straight away. However there are a large number of flights that are not round robin, and consequently aircraft are scattered all over Europe, and they remain there for weeks. It is very frustrating when you decide you want to fly a particular aircraft (in ProPilot), you go to lock the flight and non of these aircraft are available, they are all over the place, you can only retrieve an aircraft by waiting 24Hrs. As  we try to make things as real as possible, an Airline with aircraft on the ground for weeks would very quickly go broke. Is there a way to return aircraft to their respective hubs if they have not moved for a particular length of time (ghost ferry pilots).

I'm in with you this one:>

EHM-1703 Philip:
I must admit Bruce, I seem to spend my life picking planes up from outlying airports and flying them to my hub. I have noticed just lately that the fleet is getting spread around, maybe we are getting near to the time for another fleet injection to replace some of our lost planes as a few of us have noticed that the 737's and A320's are getting a bit thin on the ground. (Hint :) )

EHM-1670 Bill:
What we need is a ferry pilot.

EHM-0948 Bruno:
Hi Bruce,

Can you give us an example of an airplane who is stalled on an airport without possible flights ?

We have a script who checks that and I think that now we have all the aircrafts on airports that have at least one possible flight to be done.

We cannot automatically move airplanes like you said, Bruce. It would broke the concept of this idea. Airplanes only move when someone moves them.

About the airplane injection, we are already preparing one.

Regards,
