Hey gents,
I appreciate that you took time to read my post and to share your thoughts.
And like some of you said or hinted to, you don't see the problem. That's valid feedback, I'm also not sure there is one and that is what I am trying to validate. I'd be a fool to splurge my time and money into this based on "muh feelings".
Human factors matter as well (as we all know), as flight schools / charter companies may remain keen on phone bookings even if provided the technology to change this.
I remain interested in finding a problem that more people may have, and more people may want to see resolved. I love flying, and I love computer systems. It doesn't need to be big or grand, just real and which could actually be helpful.
And to those of you who own planes, awesome! I'm in the renting trenches, and I don't expect I'll move out for the time being - building a family & buying a house will take precedence. But hopefully one day! a C182 would be awesome. For now I'll stick to the flight school's catalog of DA40s and C172s, some of them old enough to have gone to school with my parents.
Cheers!
