The *number* of pilots have no bearing on your score. The flights flown and the *active* pilots do (just by default).
I don't recommend deleting pilots at all, just leaving them set as inactive. Real-world airlines don't delete their pilots records/count them out of their records, they're just set to inactive. Deleting a pilot should only be if they *have* to be - an incorrect user or something. There's an inactive status for that reason. If you delete a pilot who has flown in the last three months, you lose the stats on the phpVMS side, and also the stats on the vaCentral side (since vaCentral is rolling to the last 90 days)A. If you're not counting those flights/hours, I'm not either. I have no way to correlate those flights if the user doesn't exist. Those flights don't exist, there's no pilot tied to them, vaCentral doesn't see them. The only reason I've stored pilots is so that (sometimes in the future) those pilots can view all of their records, across VAs and get stats in that manner
But, there's no errors there, that's how the system is designed. If there are no records to count, I can't count them
