Options menu
A Day of Operations screen (accessed from Operations -> Crew Rostering -> Day Of Ops menu) has been added to ameliaCREW. This new form allows you to get a crew-centric view of crew members working on a given day, and add or change assignments as needed to address operational irregularities.
The Day of Ops screen functions like the existing Schedule Editor, except only 1 day is being displayed at any time, and the view is focused on available crew members. Crew is color-coded - red indicates expired training event(s), while orange indicates alert/alarm (will expire soon) training event(s). A dialog is displayed if assigning or reassigning events to crew members in those situations. Applicable limitations (ex: CARS regulations) are checked/enforced the same as always as flights and non-fly events are assigned, re-assigned, or unassigned.
