Unused Slots

[Cornishman]

When I've had to do a bit of re-organisation of flights, usually due to introducing new planes, I often end up with - (after trying very hard to re-use all my owned slots) - a number of slots usually overseas which I just can't re-use.  Then I have to sit through days and weeks of messages warning me about unused slots. 

Wouldn't it be so much easier and better for everyone, if there was a facility - say under: "ROUTES" - "Airport Slots" ... where I can view all "Unused Slots" and then release them. This not only cleans up my own life, but potentially quickly unblocks slots at other airports for other players.

What about the evil rest of us who can tolerate inbox spamming to sit on the slots and irritate some opponents?

Another way to decrease the annoyance factor of getting notification every game day for slots - would be to have ability to turn off these notifications.

I pay attention to these notifications the first game year, and then, for the remaining 50+ game years, the notifications are just nuisance.

Edit: something similar to notifications for C/D checks.  I keep them on first year or 2, and then, I just turn them off.

I hear you deovrat and JumboShrimp

JS has, i.m.o. the most basic absolute requirement here - at very least (if folk are happy to do as Deovrat says) we need to be able to shut off the totally annoying useless messages.  There's not a damned thing we can do about unused slots all over the world - nothing! 

b.t.w.  - I only realised later after writing this - just recently there was another discussion roughly pointing out the same thing, so sorry if it appears I'm duplicating the messages... but it does show this is something needs a solution for lots and lots of people please

You mean you read the messages?

I do....with a lot of filtering(all those maintenance crap I turned off).

Interesting. I just consider them to be tl;dr things...

The most important thing IMHO is who bought my planes and for how much. Airport changes like Fornebu-Gardermoen are important, too. When doing more than casual brokering, it's mandatory. Numers are manageable if you turn off "settings - aircraft settings" "Send message of successful lease extension" and "Send message of successful automatic maintenance"
