We already have feature like that in game. 
We have created 2 scheduling systems:
-the old familiar way, accessed under routes/airliners
-the new way, accessed under routes and than the airliner icon next to each route.
In the new system you first choose a route and the departure time/day/(season).
Then the game looks for all aircraft that are able to fly that route at that time and shows them in the dropdown menu.
Or are you suggesting a fully automated system where you say, I want a flight in the morning, afternoon and evening.
After that the game changes all schedules until it fits?
That seems a bit hard to implement.. And has it really that much added value over the new system?
There is one feature that was scrapped during implementation:
In the first concept we also had the ability to add a margin to the departure time.
example: I want a departure round 8 o'clock, with a margin of 15 minutes.
Now the game looks whether there is any aircraft able to do the flight at 8 o'clock, if not it looks whether there are aircraft to do the flight with a departure between 7:45 and 8:15.
This feature probably gets you even closer to what you want, we might take a look at it again.
