Hi all:

I would like to join this game when it starts as Royal Canadian Airways out of Toronto.  Or, if that base is already taken by another player, I want to join as Québec Airways Nord out of Montreal.  Thanks and keep me posted.

I am planning to play in this game as Damavand Airlines based at Tehran-Mehrabad.

The start of this world is nearing, and I want to hear your opinion on what the starting stats should be.

First question: What should the starting year be?

I'm fairly indifferent to starting year overall, though it would be ideal for me as an Iranian carrier to start pre-1980 so I have some shot at acquiring a realistic fleet.  If we start much later than that, I'd basically have to go all-Russian to be realistic.

Regarding starting aircraft type, I'd probably like something mid-sized.  If going with standard western types, that could mean a small 737 or DC9 variant, but I might prefer if we instead did something like the Tu-134.  All of those birds would make an excellent base to my fleet for the next 50 or so years.

I'd be interested in joining this world. Airline name is FlyRealGood Airlines, based out of CDG.

Starting year 1990??

Want to change airline:
New:

FastJet
Paris CDG or Munich

[rossettini]

I like a mid to late 1960's starting point.  We would be firmly in the jet and commuter prop age.  Transcontinental jet service is still limited by distance as well.

On another note, what if we played a "max-pax" style of game.  What I mean is how many passengers can you transport on a route for the maximum amount of money?  For example, my orf-atl route is carrying three flights of SC10B pax at the highest max-pax ratio.  This might improve game realism on both fronts (profit and total passengers).

I would also like to change my airline name.  I'm currently playing as Tidewater in the public world.  I like that name and would like to play in this world with it as well (based in atl?  Norfolk (current original base)? NJ/NY (what I'm leaning towards?)

When will this World be starting?

Am interested in joining.

As you have no Asian carriers presently, would join and set up in Asia.

I like the idea of mid-to-late-1960's as well.  I'll stand by starting with the Tu-134, it's a solid airplane big enough to start out on major routes but move to smaller routes as you acquire larger aircraft.  It also has the range for longer intra-continental missions while still being cheap enough that it could form the backbone of a large "regional jet" type fleet.

Hi matias, see  you have added me to the player list, cheers buddy.

I will play as Asia Pacific Airways, based HND (Haneda) please.

My airline paint:


PLS START WITH LONG RANGE AIRCRAFT  762ER OR SOMETHING OTHERWISE I CANT START MY AIRLINE

[steex]

I don't care if we start with a large/long range aircraft, but I will have to run my airline in an unrealistic fashion for a while (and probably start at a different hub)  if we do that.  There is no way I could be even remotely profitable flying a widebody at multiple frequencies within Iran.
