Free flights without planes?
I mean if this is a compensation for my flights skipping a day I don't mind but seriously?
Explaination:
So basically I have 2 aircraft flying long distance routes, as seen below:
Basically because one route PEK-LGW-PEK will exceed 24 hours, I have combined 2 flights into one schedule so that one aircraft will alternate between both routes at the same time, ie. PEK-LGW-CAN-LGW-PEK. (Today flying from London to Beijing, tomorrow from London to Guangzhou)
However, because of a scheduling issue, the schedule could start every day, such that while I was flying the second 24 hours of the cycle, I could start another cycle. This would lead to one aircraft flying PEK-LGW and CAN-LGW at the same time, as seen below with the other aircraft
As above, the aircraft B-E003 was able to fly the PEK-LGW route and the CAN-LGW route at the same time, allowing me to collect revenue for both set of routes at the same time.
Update: I see that the 5th May scheduling had fixed the bug? I am not sure but one of my planes no longer experience the issue stated above starting for flights departing on the 7th.
