auro-flight: Progress Indicator

[gusnaughton]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Our flight status page is the most fully-featured flight status page in the airline industry - however, without looking at the Flight Tracking map, it's difficult to glance at how far along a flight has flown.

This is the view of the Flight Status page: https://www.alaskaair.com/status/day/today/2

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like an airplane indicator with two colors on either left or right side of the airplane indicator where the left is darker and the right is lighter:

FlightAware:

AirNav RadarBox:

I love this feature. I believe the issue we had in the past was that we didn't have the data to tell us what percentage of the flight has been completed to do this.

And what about segments? How would you want that to work?

[gusnaughton]

In my use case (flight status), per-segment status doesn't apply as each segment is broken out into its own continuous flightline, but I like the idea! That said, under the hood, wouldn't it work the same way? Stopovers are all on the same plane, so the same "0-100%" thinking would apply in your screenshot.

For layovers however, I see your point - if the Flight Schedules or Major Irrops or even Fly chooses to use this, a missed connection would require independent line definitions for each respective flight number.

Could we start by designing what the progress line could look like, since it would likely apply equally to both scenarios?
