One very simple addition to the AI would be the option of setting "rally points." You click on the command for "set rally point", that brings up the map display and you click on the desired point on the map to set the rally point. You then set the amount of time you want aircraft to loiter over the rally point before they go home or move on to the next waypoint in the mission.
Damaged aircraft, or aircraft which are low on fuel, will head to a rally point first if it's on the way home.
Mission builders could also set rally points using the FMB, which would work as described above.
