Perhaps some of you experienced the frustration when you possess a private island with an airstrip and a pilot but cannot ask this last one to follow your orders.
How many of you have took a flight and then for some reason wanted to take the plane back to torn city?
My suggestion is to add a feature that when you have your own pilot you could turn the plane back.
It would take the same time to get back to torn that you have been in the air with the addition maybe of a small delay or even 1.5x or 2x the time you have been flying before you take that decision.
Would love to hear your thoughts about this.
EDIT: As other people suggested it might be a good idea adding a point of no return at half the trip.
I believe what he is suggesting is that if you initiate a flight to say South Africa that takes about 3 hours plus or minus one way that if you changed your mind in mid-flight after about 20 minutes that you could turn around and be back to Torn in another 20 minutes or so.

Takes 20 minutes to return regardless of how many of those initial 15 minutes have elapsed. Torn airspace is really busy, amending flight plans is tough.
The disruption causes your new landing time to become public knowledge.

Well, why not? I own the jet, and I'm paying the pilot; he can always turn the plane back when I say so.
