Ah! It's not too bad of a formula--I'm usually only changing the arrival time by somewhere between 5-10 minutes (unless it's a flight with strong head/tailwinds).
I still like (and would pay for) integration with FlightStats (and TripIt, as someone else suggested), but this is a good start (especially if the tab order could be changed to make sense so the auto-fill works as expected).
