The article mentions that some flights produce a net cooling effect. I wonder if it could be cost effective to divert flights toward contrail formation when it's predicted that they'll produce cooling (I also wonder what the actual circumstances are when they produce cooling--low surface temperatures, maybe?).

Perhaps also early morning flights where most of the contrail's lifespan will be in sun.
