I think it would be a nice little addition to be able to see your average load factor across all your destinations. Maybe right on the main page near your rank and DOP. If it's an easy thing to do, i think many people would be interested in seeing it.

What do you want to see? Example, I have two planes...a Beech 1900D (19 seats) and a Boeing 747D (535 seats). Each has a frequency of 1. The Beech has a LF of 70%, the Boeing has a LF of 100%.
Method 1 (simple) - average the load factors. (70%+100%)/2 = 85%
Method 2 (more complex) - average number of seats filled. Beech has (70%*19) = 13 seats. Boeing has 535 seats filled. So average load factor = (seats filled)/(seats available) = (13+535)/(19+535) = 99%
Big difference. Which do you want.
BTW - dumb example, but easy to understand the issue.

I never really thought about that, but it makes perfect sense. Personally I would like to see the second method implemented.

Well it's simple. Just browse trough all your routes (in my case, 21 pages of them 
) and take the weighted average. Can't take that long, eh?
No seriously, such a function would be nice.
