Abort flight option

TLDR: the ability to cancel a flight or jump from the flight within the first few minutes. 

If you are just a few minutes into a flight (say less than 5 minutes for this suggestion but 2-3 minutes or a percentage of the flight, etc works too) and realize that you shouldn't have flown yet for some reason, we could have the option to abort the flight, particularly with the private jet/airstrip but could be modified to work with the other flight options as well.

If I board a flight to Argentina for example and less than 3 minutes in (or whatever time), I wanted to cancel the flight, it would be cool to be able to abort the flight and the plane would turn around and maybe take 5 more minutes to get turned around and landed back. That would be better than the time it takes of flying the whole way there and back. 

Or potentially have the option to jump but incurring some health damage (potential here for another item similar to a parachute, or to change the current parachute to something else, and to be able to buy and use that item to minimize or eliminate the health damage incurred, or possibly as a requirement to jump)....

Just a thought, I'm sure all of us have boarded a flight just to realize you needed to buy/sell items, deposit money/items into vault/faction armory, faction organized crime is about to start, needed to pay rent or send money/items, use energy/nerve, etc first but still have to complete that flight even though you realized it as you pushed the button and there was plenty of time to stop the plane before it even got off the ground lol. 

Such a system will be overused during wars to avoid being targeted by the opposite faction, as you can jump in and out with little penalty.

To balance it, you will need to add something that will balance it, like a travel ban:

"Due to your misconduct onboard the aircraft, which resulted in disruption and a delay of the flight, you are hereby subject to a travel ban effective immediately, which will remain in place for 24 hours."

This will make you think twice if it is worth doing it.

I very much agree. So few people consider game balance when making these suggestions. 

This is too easily a company perk. My suggestion is to replace Nightclub's 1* special, experience points, with Cavity Search (50jp): 5 minutes to cancel flight; spendable while travelling.

Or to give the perk to Firework Stand as their 7*, as it currently don't have one.

This ensures the option is available, doesn't break the game, and gives FS or Nightclub a minor War perk (fake travel) while getting rid of the useless experience perk. For a reference for how useless it is, I had an employee at my old Clothing Store spend 100jp on exp at level 13 and he didn't level up.

These two options are also thematically appropriate. Drugs up butt? Rocket up butt? Welcome to Torn.

Well, I'm not a developer so it's not my job to fully think about all the ways it will implicate the game or ways to mitigate abuse... but if the ability to abort or cancel a flight were put into the game somehow, I'm sure the developers would need to put some sort of negative effect to combat abuse such as a cooldown where you can only use that ability once every so many hours or once you use it, you can't fly again for a few minutes to an hour or something, or you could be attacked immediately rather than having the typical few seconds to not be attacked... that's the job for the developers to decide how to restrict or penalize it's use. 

The developers already figured out a way to mitigate abuse. It's to not allow flights to be canceled to begin with. Do you think it never occurred to anyone during the planning and development phases to allow flights to be canceled or to allow the ability to return to your departure location? Obviously that was considered, and decided against. You don't have to figure out a real world scenario where this would make sense to happen, they could just add a button to cancel the flight if they wanted it in the game. 

You already have to do an extra click to join a flight. Instead of insta-clickng during the warning. Take a minute and make sure you're ready to catch the flight.

The solution is not to make the game easier, it's for you to get better. 

Just like real life.
