Feature Request - Tech stops should be added both ways by default

I was trying to create a route with a tech stop and AirwaySim was giving me a warning about load limits. It took me a long while to figure out that you need to add a tech stop for the inbound flight as well.

Can we have a default option for adding tech stops so when you add an outbound tech stop, it is automatically added to the inbound flight as well?

Making it the default is a good idea, as most players use tech stops (during eras where they are viable) to extend the range of short-legged planes. But I want to make sure that if this is implemented, the option remains to tech stop in only one direction.

The reason for this is certain mainland-Hawaii (outside HNL) flights that require long-range planes that can't take off fully loaded from some of the shorter runways in the islands. Those planes can land fully loaded because they've burned all their fuel by the time they get there, but in order to get back to the mainland with more than 12 passengers they have to take off with just enough fuel to get to Kona or Hilo. Especially if they're going farther than California. So if you want to serve DEN-MKK, you can route it DEN-MKK-(ITO)-DEN.

Indeed I don't want the flexibility of tech stops as it is now to go away.
