Okay, well I don't want to end up playing alone so here's my proposal-once I have all slots full I shall create this world. This world will focus on fun and realism rather than being number one on the rankings. Players assume the identity of a real airline and develop their airliners in any way they would like.

World Terms and Conditions:
It will be commercial aircraft only, and no more than three airlines will be allowed to base at any airport at any time. At airports of below 25 million passengers, two and at airports of below 10 million passengers, only one. All airlines are required to base at at least one airport of below 10 million passengers and one of below 25 million passengers, and are limited no more than two bases at airports of €300,000 and above. If any official brokers are wililng to join and help out, as a reward they will be awarded an additional €15,000,000 per year for brokering expenses, and in exchange, brokers will be allowed to operate no more than 300 routes and be limited to two airports €250,000 and above and a maximum of seven bases. Brokers will be subsidized whenever necessary. "Interest rates" or markup for brokered aircraft is capped at 36% on an annualized basis. Airlines are limited to two frequencies, but total capacity on any route for any airline is limited to the number of seats equal to 1/500 of the average cost of the two airports or 700 seats, whichever is less, and limited to 5,000 seats for all airlines. Total capacity is equal to the number of seats on aircraft times two times frequency. This rule can be waived on a case by case basis, or by consent of competitors. Any airline in need of cash to cover operating expenses will be subsidized to the break-even point, upon request. All routes and bases are first come, first serve. Routes under 75 miles or within the same metropolitan area are prohibited under any circumstances. Rules will be strictly enforced and airlines will be regularly audited to ensure compliance.
Violators will be dealt with swiftly and harshly. Anytime an alleged violation is reported or caught, the airline involved will be warned (corrective action will be recommended) and be placed on probation for 72 hours real time. The airline will be given a chance to appeal the ruling or take corrective action. Should the offending airline choose to appeal in writing, a randomly selected jury of members will review the appeal and decide to either clear the airline or uphold the original ruling. Appeal decisions are final and cannot be appealed. If the airline does not take either action within the probationary period, punitive action will be taken against the airline and affected airlines will be given compensation. Punitive action will be proportional to the seriousness of the offense, and include a probationary period of between 6 months game time to 36 months game time. IF within the probationary period the airline is found guilty of a second offense, the airline will be banned.
I'll be taking questions/comments/slot reservations now.
