Student rights
Not sure that this is a bug. Maybe it is programmed such way.
I think Student shouldn't have right to book scheduled flights. He should have posibility to book only training flights.
Otherwise I don't see any difference between Student and Pilot.
Studen can book Scheduled flights at this moment and I had to move all flights from one a/c type to another and to leave only training flights on first one.

In that case why have a student rating, if they are exactly the same as a regular pilot ?Konny wrote:Well, I don't see any reason why students should be able to book a flight. They just didn't get any Rank but apart from that they are normal pilots. You can still control what they are allowed to fly by using typeratings.
Or to put it another way, - what can a regular pilot do, that a student cannot ?
Cheers now

I tried this as an experiment, created a new pilot, joined an airline. The pilot could not book any flights, but I also could not find a way for the pilot to cancel the application.

I insist on removing right to book scheduled flight for student.
Just because of that - http://flynet.turksim.org/index.php5?st ... ed&va=2108
Each second flight ends with crash.
I was forced to remove all our B737-400 fleet from service while this bird returns quite good revenue.
just to avoid mistake during booking.

Hi,
At the moment when you get an applicant, he applies as 'student' and as soon as you accept he becomes 'pilot' which allows all flights for which he is Type Rated on. I agree that when you accept applicant the CEO should be able to restrict flight access so that he is only able to book training flights until CEO or designate decides he can fly scheduled. Not sure how you would implement this but taking things one step further you could have a Type Rating U/T (under training) endorsement for any aircraft. Even when one of your existing pilots wants new type rating he could still crash, so you can give him the TR(U/T) which restricts him to training flights only on that type. When you are ready to let him fly scheduled flights you take the 'U/T' endorsement off.

This is how it used to be, but with the new custom ranks the website can't now which of the va's ranks is the usual pilot rank so at the moment the new pilot stays 'student' until he is assigned something else. So there currently is no difference between a pilot (with no rights) or a student. But it wouldn't be hard to restrict the flights a student can do to training flights.Quantum wrote:At the moment when you get an applicant, he applies as 'student' and as soon as you accept he becomes 'pilot'

I agree with Quantum that we should be able to give a training rating so a pilot can checkout on an aircraft type before they are allowed to fly revenue flights. Currently with PSV I have gotten a few cargo aircraft of the similar types to what we fly specifically for the training programs.
