Updated Reports

  • The Pro-Forma has been improved, so students can more easily anticipate their financial performance in the next simulated quarter. The calculated Pro-Forma cost-per-seat-mile is used on the Fares and Scheduling decision pages to help with analysis.
  • Improved Scheduling Feedback: New visuals and route planning aids improve visibility into capacity, profitability, and time allocation.
