[ATC] - 757 Stand allocation

:bullseye: What is your suggestion?
Create a buffer/exemption for the B757, so it can still park at certain C stands at airports.

:hammer_and_wrench: How would it work in the game?
Before 3.0 with the new aircraft categories, the Boeing 757 could park at the same M stands (now currently C) as the A321/B737, but ever since the new UI, the 757 is only able to park at D stands. It would bring back the possibility of limiting the 757’s parking possibilities. It could still be a D plane and the stand will have the possibility to accommodate D category planes but only the 757.

:balance_scale: Why is this a good idea?
Creating an exemption for the 757 to stand at certain C stands at airports, like SAN and MSY (C gates specifically C4) that are able to handle the 757 will allow for more variation and for contracts of the 757 that a player had, doesn’t need to be cancelled. This would also apply to Cargo stands at airports like IAD and especially LEJ with all the DHL 757’s that can’t park at C stands anymore.
This would not apply to airports like SYD with stands D1/7/8/9/44/52/54/56.

Well there are several stands that do accommodate B757 series while cannot service B767 or A300.

So put it in a more realistic way all the stands should have the aircraft types it can handle individually (like the parking lines for different types you see on a real airport apron).

However in the game I do feel there could be a B+ and C+ class to suit needs for some planes slightly larger than the B/C wingspan.
