Manage routes -> Manage price on selected routes -> Update only return sector

Hi!

The title may be pretty much self explanatory already. On the manage routes page, you can filter some routes on the left side, on the right side you can select those routes. Below is the option to update prices on selected routes. In the popup window there is a clickable message "Update also the return's sector price". I would really like to vote for an option on this panel that allows us to update the price ONLY on the return sector.

Any comments or further suggestions? What do you think of this idea?

This would be awesome for cargo operators. As the system is cureently designed, we have to make several clicks per route, and if the airline uses 7-day scheds, you know the extent of the issue.

As one of the bigger cargo players i would like to say that this idea would actually not be that useful after the initial game start, and honestly you would go crazy if you wanted to even care about what leg you adjust pricing on for cargo when you get big...

Well, I had run a very big, successful cargo airline in past games, and I had the advantage of being based in a country that handled mostly outbound cargo. So the option not to update the return leg was very useful to maximize cargo loads. And I used it a whole lot.

But that's the thing about this request. That existing option that unchecks only the return leg is only helping half of the operators who have asymmetrical demands. Why not add the option to only update the return leg? It's the same mechanism already put in place but turned 180. I mean, why is it even an option if we can't use it backwards as well?

Also, perhaps for a big airline with a player who doesn't have enough time available to micro-manage prices across the board, that is not really an existing problem. But it is for people who like to tweak prices.
