Internal aircraft designations?

13 January 2012 - 06:28 AM

Is there any way we could "tag" aircraft flying out of a certain hub? For example, I have a fleet of mostly 757s, MD-88s and CR7s that are spit between my two hubs. Problem is, when I get new planes in and start shuffling routes, I start to lose track of which ones are at which airport. I know others use non-hub scheduling methods, but I think a 3-7 character field could accommodate some kind of internal hint as to what routes the aircraft flies.

Failing that, could we add a field where we can designate "tail numbers" different from the ID? For instance, I could assign all of my 757's in business-heavy configurations flying out of JFK 10xx numbers, all my 757's in business-heavy configurations flying out of LAX 12xx numbers, all economy 757s out of DCA 20xx numbers etc...
