[Other] - Scheduling Stands Improvement

:bullseye: What is your suggestion?
Allow players to assign more than one stand for contracts.

:hammer_and_wrench: How would it work in the game?
In the planner UI, add an option for players to schedule planes to multiple stands. The delivery ATC controller will assign the plane to a random stand among those selected in the schedule. For example, in IAD, let’s say a player has ten size C United contracts. The player could assign them to a group of stands in the D terminal and the delivery controller would assign them randomly based on availability.

:balance_scale: Why is this a good idea?
It would improve realism, since in real life, airlines tend to stick to one terminal. It would also increase variation as planes would rarely be at the same stand back to back.

Notice how American airlines flights park in a specific group of stands. This change would allow players to recreate this.Los angeles airport terminals hi-res stock photography and images - Alamy

Totally agree with this, this is exactly how I would want the a scheduling system to work. In my eyes this would just work by having a list of every stand, and you just select the ones you want to use for a contract. This is definitely going to be huge, as it currently just doesn’t feel right assigning contracts to stands that are from an airline that has multiple stands at that airport.

This would be a great feature, i would like a feature to make planes scheduled to the terminals in gmae to create the real life alliances, but assigning it to multiple stands is a good way to do it, but they would need to remove the limit that the stands have in the manager.
