Flight Data Collection Consultant

At the heart of every data analysis is a pool of events and observations gathered into a set of numbers and values. While you still have to make sense of these figures, the chore of collecting them into one convenient single point of information can be delegated to the Addon Flight Data Collection Consultant (FDCC)

To plunge into the data collection provided by the FDCC, maneuver to Operations -> Scheduled Fligths -> Historical and click on the blue database symbol next to each flight's take-off time. The resulting overlay is partitioned into four parts:

Flight Time Details

Flight Time Details provides a meticulous timeline of the flight, from Pre-Flight Ramp Time to Flight Process End Time.

Load Details panel - This example shows that 104 tickes in Y-Class were sold for a cabin layout that only allows for 90 Y-Class seats. 10 passengers received an upgrade to Q-Class free of charge. The remaining 4 passengers had to be rejected and their tickets refunded.

Financial Details

Financial Details panel - Continuing our previous example we see revenue for 104 tickes sold in Y-Class.

And lastly the tickets refund (including compensation) for the 4 unlucky victims of overbooking.
