Default OLC Subittal deadline

Hi Tom,

I agree that it would be easier if you had 1 week to upload. I would prefer
that as well. But you are slightly incorrect about pilots flying on
Tuesdays. They have the most time possible - until the following Tuesday at
midnight. It is pilots that fly on Monday that only have about 24 hours to
post their flights.

For OLC 2007, the deadline will be changed to 2400 local time on
Tuesday, instead of 2400z to allow Western Hemisphere pilots more time
to claim. The Tuesday deadline is for flights through Monday. Flights
on Tuesday have until the following Tuesday to be claimed.


It's unfortunate that the deadline can't just be "7 days aftrer the
flight" instead of this Tuesday limitation. As has been mentioned many
times before, this penalizes the pilot who completes a flight on
Tuesday, but far away from an internet connection.
