Flight editing (W6)

So my load factors fell off a cliff aboard the DC9-40s because the seating capacity was changed, and now I can't edit my flights. I can't edit any of my DC9-40 flights ouf of JFK. I had a SAN-MSP flight that was on the same plane that the JFK-MSP flight was on, and I was able to edit that just fine, but I can't get the 5 I listed below edited.

Flight numbers:
I0X14903 JFK-DEN
I0X16249 JFK-Little Rock
I0X14971 JFK-MEM
I0X12444 JFK-MSP
I0X12439 JFK-DFW

Equipment: DC9-40 in all cases.

I just get this message: "You either selected no aircraft, or selected an invalid aircraft. Please go back and try again."

Um, has anyone looked into this?

looking into it as we speak, was waiting on Dex to confirm what changes had made (as i was up when i saw this at between 4 and 6am).

edit: i should have known this before. Editing the capacity increased the turn time, resulting in any single route of yours (as you had some high efficiency planning) to push the plane past 24 hours, rendering it normally un-editable.

Hmm. i need to come up with a better way to handle this sort of update, however at the moment this is the best we have.

Okay. I'll spread the routes out when I get more planes (I went on a shopping spree and bought 6 planes yesterday). But for now I'm stuck at 73% loadfactor on routes that should have 100% loadfactor.

And just bought another 3 planes...though if I want to expand Hawaii, I should be saving up for planes with 3000+ miles range.

I have problem with editing a flight in world 5. Tried to edit flight number 11384 (Tokyo Haneda - Tokyo Narita) and got a message: "Invalid airports selected, please go back and try again."

can you delete them and then create them again?

I spread them out among my new planes. It's working fine now.

Was one of these airports (the originating one) an alliance hub? it may no longer be an alliance hub which would render the route uneditable (however would not initially close the route).

Yes. Problem solved. Thanks
