We've got a couple of threads where that's in effect being tried out in the captains' area, for a couple of different nightstop destinations - people suggested it and started it, I made them "sticky" so they stayed visible. People can always try the same thing, and in the FOs area as well (registered users can start their own thread) and if looks like a helpful way of doing things, I'm more likely to run with it and see how it pans out - if people find it useful, that's the evidence we need.
The old way meant that at least half of what we looked at wasn't relevant to us. The current way means that at least we aren't looking at things that are on our days off etc, which personally I prefer (and is why I set it up like that) - but people may feel that's too high a price to pay...
The bottom line is, I could do with more feedback. If people want to use this in a different way - or if they think it's a complete non-starter! - then there are alternatives, either here or at least one person has been exploring another option. But I could do with some definite weight of opinion about what would be good. I promise I won't throw my toys out of the pram!
