What specifically do pilot's want their airline to do? A good start would be to build schedules with the staff that is actually available. It seems that many of the airlines are hoping for the best when they build the schedules, but don't have a plan B when the slightest of things go wrong. But mor...
Jump to postThere is no rule of thumb on scheduling. This past weekend, I swapped a 4 day trip that had 11 segments to a different 4 day trip that operated 3 segments and deadheaded on 2. Quite a difference. To answer your original question, it would surprise me if your flight crew landed in ATL, then continue...

I am not really familiar with other programs other than photoshop, my previous career, that is what I used, so that is what I know.

Jump to postI do this all the time. I use photoshop to create the decals on Waterslide decal papers. I have made my own decals for an Air Malta 720, Spirit A319 Pan Am 747 and quite a few more.

If I didn’t like it, I would make an alternative plan BEFORE I accepted the takeoff clearance, not AFTER, and surely not out of any NYC a...
