If one was able to fly faster than the earth's rotational speed, in the same direction, eventually one would go to the future?
And to go back in time, one would fly in the opposite direction?

if your able to travel close to the speed of light time for you will slow down so 1 year of travel at high rate could equal 1000 years for those of us on earth
theoritically...
well they've tested with 2 atomic clocks on planes and the one on the plane slowed a little bit each time consistent with the speed and time flown kinda showing that time "slowed" down for the clock that was moving faster

There's no way to go back in time, going forward and backwards aren't equal transformations -- because when people talk about going forward in time, they're not REALLY saying lets skip ahead a few years with a button click, they're just talking about slowing down your own frame of time with incredibly high speeds. Even if there was some way to speed up your own frame of time, you would still not be going backwards in time.
And fyi, the earth's rotation has absolutely nothing to do with time travel. At all.

Well, according to Einstein and his theory of relativity. The past, present, and future are all happening at once.

Tell me if Im wrong, but dont you have to go to warp speed to go back in time?

Time dilation with airplanes has to do with height, not speed.
