Deleting schedules

[HighFlyerPL185]

Hi,

I was wondering what are the consequences of removing schedules? Are the PIREPs in any way affected as a result?

I had the same question before. You are safe. The old PIREPS will still show as the one that the pilot flew, even if you change the flight number.

Just to clarify, as I have about 130 schedules I want to delete, if there were PIREPS filed against those schedules, the PIREP remains and the financials are not impacted. Is that correct?

[Parkho]

True.

Umm, I am not so sure it will keep everything. By that, I mean, I had inadvertently changed the schedules way back, where I deleted schedules and then uploaded the newer ones. It shows the schedule still, but the aircraft type just came up as:

Departure Airport: Denver International Airport (KDEN)
Arrival Airport: Toronto Pearson Int'L. Ont. (CYYZ)
Aircraft:  ()
Flight Time:  03.02
Date Submitted:  06/08/2010
Route: KDEN MCK J44 LNK DSM OBK ECK V216 YWT CYYZ
Status:  Accepted

So, if you are tracking a particular aircraft's hours or something, I am not sure if that gets affected ot not?! Has anyone else ever had that happen with the aircraft listed?!

[Parkho]

That's because of the aircraft id. It happens if the aircraft id is not the same as the pirep's aircraft and it could be the same situation if the schedule's aircraft is changed or deleted but that does not affect the PIREPS and Pilot's hours and number of flights.

Ok, thanks. Good to know

Any impact on VACentral rankings/calculations if I delete a bunch of unused/underused schedules?
