Updating pricing is really annoying now...please rethink

HI Sami,
I know you made some comment about a new direction in pricing with the upgrade when I posted this aspect was broken in the upgrade in bugs, but it is now becoming super annoying. 

If you open a new route for each day x 7 and start with a low price to generate demand, you literally now need to go to each route and click the outbound and the return so 7 pages and 14-28 individual clicks for pax and cargo with no individualizations by type 6 pax/cargo types without a lot of work.  (I'd swear there was a button to update all flights that opened right after which was fine but that is definitely gone now).

If you try to update on the page from price management where you put in the airport codes...nothing happens when you go back and check the routes as it seems disconnected and since no flights are listed you can't verify on that page so you go back searching through the schedule to find it so even more clicks and time for something that used to take 10 seconds max.  I also don't see the functionality in being limited to increments of 5% from the route page.

If I'm missing something, can you or someone point to the new guidance on how this is all supposed to work efficiently now?

I think you've found a new bug: (price management)->(route pricing - search route) currently displays default prices and not actual prices of the route pair.

I agree that price changes are annoying to execute right now.

Correct - I tested setting prices NOT at default, saved, and when entering airport codes it only shows DEFAULT even though I changed it. Clicking on set to default does nothing since prices show as default....

I know that changing the UI and taking out some info might be a bit annoying, but the motive has been to get the v.1.4 update into use without further delays. The price management page and its components are so old that changing everything there to the new structure there would have been very time consuming, and it would not benefit in the long term since my plan is to have price changes only from route management pages (individually or a selectable/mass update). Bear with this for a while...
