You are continuing your consulting work for Wolverine Airlines. Wolverine has one hub located at Chicago OHare (ORD). It has two Boeing 737-700 aircraft that will be serving the following routes:

ORD-SFO (2.5-hour flight time)

ORD-SLC (1.5-hour flight time)

ORD-IAD (2-hour flight time)

Wolverine must use these aircraft to make one round-trip between ORD-SFO and two round-trips each for ORD-SLC and ORD-IAD. The minimum turnaround time Wolverine allocates for this aircraft is 45 minutes. Wolverine would like to take advantage of peak-time departures (08:00-09:00 and 17:00-18:00) on as many departures as possible. Bank times at ORD are as follows:

10:00-11:30 AM

13:00-14:30 PM

16:00-17:30 PM

Flights can begin as early as 06:00 and run until 22:00. The ORD-SFO round-trip flight may connect through another city if desired.

Draw a schedule map that maximizes aircraft productivity for both aircraft and covers the routes listed. The schedule map must use peak-time departures for at least two flights and must make connections during the bank times. You may create your schedule map by hand or digitally.
