Sample Schedule...

Just for fun, this is the output of a random airline schedule generated by the game.  The only parameter was that it be of a certain fleet type and that this be a single hub operation.  The program generated a random fleet, (4 777s, 35 A320s and 318s and 15 RJs), selected a hub (ORD), figured out how many cities it should serve and which ones had enough demand to justify it, calculated the number of flights to each city and which types of aircraft to use, and then wrote a schedule to/from each city utilizing the aircraft. 

If you took the time, you would notice that the schedule times are arranged so that each flight would have an appropriate type aircraft available (we don't have 16 simultaneous flight for the 15 RJs).  Also, departures are no earlier than 6 AM local and arrivals no later than about 1 AM local.  The flight numbering is still being worked on.  Right now, they are sequential with outbound flights being odd and inbound flights being even.  The larger flights are lower numbers.  Eventually, there will be a flexible numbering scheme so different types of flights will use different ranges of flight numbers.
