SCHED is the functionality allowing you to build and manage the schedules.

Option 'no change' in the dropdown next to the virtual aircraft means that no changes will apply to the schedule in OPS section after the publication. But if the aircraft is changed to a different aircraft that the one already selected in OPS view, then the new aircraft will be assigned after the publication.
