For OLC 2007, the deadline will be changed to 2400 local time on
Tuesday, instead of 2400z to allow Western Hemisphere pilots more time

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.

The reason for not doing this, according to the OLC person that answered
my question about it, was to encourage the weekend (when most flights
occure) flights to be posted promptly. I'd prefer 7 days (or at least 3
days), too, since when I'm traveling in the motorhome, I might not
always get to an Internet connection in time, but it seems like a
adequate reason for the OLC purposes.
