You are free to stop at any airport and load any/multiple cargoes with AH, then proceed to any airport and unload. You DON'T have to fly direct to the destination - you can stop anywhere en-route.

You can also transfer cargo from one AC to another as long as both are at the same airport at the same time.

Oke here goes my thoughts although most of it has been said already.
 
I also like to start with saying that i already like the product as it is but this question allows me to ask for more. So what is it i would like?
 
1 Keep your excellent service to current users as top priority. I would love extra fucntionality but there are only 24 hours in a day. when it comes down to choices please keep in mind that keeping your current users happy will mainly come from fixing small problems and next from extra functionality (and truth is you are excellent at this service)
 
2. assigning mulitiple AI pilots to a single plane (to stay wihtin flight hours and also to have a more realistic cost model)
 
3. Beiing able to assign more planes/pilot to  a single job (if one plane cannot take the whole load)
 
4. More intelligence on AI routing (if i have a flight from a to b with more than allowed freight and a flight from c to a, where c is near to b i would like to start hauling freight on my return from b instead of flying empty from b to a)
 
5. Web access to AH (although i need to be carefull what i ask for because this would for sure cause me to divert my attention during office hours to AHSmile)
 
6. Automatic invocation of flightplan's and active sky from AH (i dont think this is a AH problem but i hate it to set everything to my wish after fsx starts (like flightplan and weather)
 
7 Contracts (to enable a steady workload instead of only requiring me to daily select jobs for my pilots)
 
8 Competition. Love it when i have to fight off competitors who are after my customers. Some nice model that will require me to sometimes dump my prices because of heavy competition while at other times (or other places) i can ask what i like because i am the only company around (but someone already mentioned a air hauler tycoon is developed here so maybe a bit too way off)
 
9 Planes not available during repair times and realistic repair times (and maybe even repair wait times because you can not drop in a maintenance shop and expect everyone to drop their current work)
 
10 showing of your other planes when at a base where these other planes are at that moment
 
That's it. Need to get back to my AH to put my staff to work again and also need to fly some jobs myself to bring my reputation back to par

Slopey, is possible to have on "Choose pilot" window*, the hability see the pilots by alphabetic order and Rank, because at this moment is impossible, are "blocked", instead of being in order of recruitment. All names at this moment are mixed without a logicSmile
thanks,

what about being able to get a loan at 50% and to be able to hire AI pilots at 50% to that would help

  How about seasonal cargo such as:  fireworks on the 4th of July, Christmas presents in December, candy & costumes on Halloween ect...
 
  And it would be fun and educational to include holidays from around the world. (that sounded kinda dorkyEmbarrassed)

Something just dawned on me...

It would be nice if there was a way to prevent the clustering of jobs generated. What I mean is sometimes the jobs from bases all go to the way general vicinity on the map, and are separated by very short distances from each other. While this may be good for small GA aircraft, it is uneconomical for larger transports and is annoying having a 752 or MD-11 flying under a hundred miles to its next stop when a freight truck could probably get it there faster!

Maybe add a user variable something like a statement that says no jobs generated if distance from nearest job equals X, unless job destination is base.

Hopefully I explained that somewhat right. Just a thought...

I have said this before but for those of us that don't have time to do flights, maybe the AI pilots would be able to INCREASE your reputation not just decrease it.

Would it be possible to add an export to excel function on the Registed Aircraft page (where you import planes into AH)?

Umm... Kandahar is in Afghanistan not Iraq. And it is already in the scenery database as a default FS9/FSX airfield.

Automation of the AI pilots. Let's say you have missions that are backlogging, why not have an tick box on the AI pilots "Self Dispatch" or a dispatch feature that allows your AI pilots to dispatch on assignments like x distance, yweight, z aircraft?
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
