With the Calendar View you can easily see everything that you have scheduled in the distant past, the not so distant past and the recent past. With the List View you have to search through multiple pages to see what you have sent out and when.
With the Calendar View you can do a "Test Page" and easily go back to it when you are ready to start sending it out for real. With List View you would be searching forever trying to find when you did the Test Page.
We send out so many announcements that sometimes I may get distracted and cannot remember whether I have scheduled an email already today or still need to do it. With Calendar View it is easy to see what I have scheduled today. With List View I have to search through the list.
There are other reasons that I am sure I would remember if I were scheduling announcements right now. I will try and bring those to your attention when I think of them.
Please note that I am not asking to do away with the List View. I am sure it is easier for some people (especially those who do not send out many announcements). What I am requesting is that you can set your own default to Calendar View or List View, whatever works best for you. With it set permanently on List View, it means that I have to do extra clicks every single time that I start scheduling an announcement. That would not be a problem if I was only scheduling a couple of announcements every day, but (when things return to normal) I will be averaging between 8-12 announcements per day. Having to constantly switch back to Calendar View will get very irritating.
