Why does an airplane have to be on the ground to assign a pilot?

its not unreasonable that you should be able to make personnel changes that become effective once the plane lands.

Im pretty sure that a manager at american airlines can make personnel changes anytime he wants. I understand that you cant change the pilot of a flight in the air, but i still think you should be able to make assignments whenever you feel like

i pretty much hate this issue both changing personnel and flight stuff should not require it to be on ground, like in airline tycoon 1 , the game can do it when ever the flight lands while we managers make the changes at any time , its pretty hectic when plane is on route , i hope they fix this

I do agree with this.

I would like to be able to assign the flight staff whenever I want, and be able to fire people whenever I want, not just when the plane is landed.

It shouldn't be difficult to make the changes I have done apply after the flight has finished, but having to wait 5 ingame hours to make a change is annoying.

i hope they look into this , im getting fed up of waiting to assign staff :X
or make changes, such a waste of time

I agree with this.

This is a gameplay issue that needs to be fixed. No one cares about graphics or cargo DLC if every freaking time they buy a plane put it on a route then have to wait just to change a crewmember out. It's ok as is with only 2-3 planes going, but over 10 it feels like pure insanity waiting for them all to land Lol.

i really really wish they would fix this, game would be awesome if it did not have this problem of waiting for the planes touch down, its a nightmare when you have a huge fleet , changes to the planes has the same problem

i dont know why they suddenly thought of putting in reality thing , real plane names would have made more sense instead

Ummm just wondering, wasn't that feature part of how the old AT1 worked? I remember I always had to wait for airplanes to touch down before replacing people. As for "real" names. I hope I will find Guybrush Threepwood on AT2 too =p but I doubt it sadly.

nope in at1 you could make any changes you want while the game does it auto when the plane lands , even people
