so...?
Not a bug. Completely acceptable.
Don't double post (referring to your posts in bugs and here which are the same).
Stop whining, unless you are talking about something else that you have not mentioned (like the airline is one day old and managed to run that many routes, ... etc.)

Perfectly Legal. :twisted: It lures more people to lease too!

Perfectly legal...it's stupid, but legal. But then the admins' job isn't to protect people from doing stupid stuff, it's to run the game.
I'm completely overhauling my fleet at the moment, and it's taking for-freaking-ever.

This is one of the forums hot button topics. As long as the discussion stays civil(and so far it has) this thread will remain. But if this thing heads off the track like every other thread about this it will be gone... Off the track means discussions calling players out, attacks on admins, programmers or mods, dislike of governmental policies or even the forums policies on topic... This is the offical warning.....

Hong Kong has been a mess nearly all game. There are a bunch of small airlines flying out there, doing about the same thing all over the place. I've even seen DC-9-30's, flying out of Hong Kong, doing that to cities with less than 25k pax too. How they're making money - or even how they are even able to get DC-9's in the first place is beyond me. I suspect they are either being fed from a larger alliance member airline, or they're leasing them. I don't know. Now its getting crowded with all the alliance cronies too. You just have to live with it, I've been doing so all game.

I've been doing some double frequencies but only because I'm overhauling my entire fleet (at great expense!) and I'd have a plane that has enough time for JFK-LGA but not for another route from JFK. So then I just throw it on JFK-LGA to use up hours (although I told myself repeatedly that I'm going to leave some slack :D )

Given that there's only like 800 people in the game, probably not as quickly.

There's no need to blame them. Leave the stupid people be. :lol: It balances things out.

Yeah... for me, i just want to create reasonable frequencies. In real world, Garuda Indonesia would serve CGK-SUB with 14 flights!!! But in this game 1 flight will give you more money from the plane. So i'll max out at 3 flights per route, so my plane's hour will not be wasted.

Yes, let them be. Sooner or later they will go bankrupt and the route will be back to normal. :lol:

T-only 10 minutes until 1983 (in world 6). That means two things: I'm going to probably pay out 180 million in maintenance, and the 757 is finally going to be available in my world. :)
Stupid people fall behind anyway. Let them be.

That's the reason I didn't choose HK as a hub of mine in every round. Those so-called stupid people keep flocking in HKG.

North America seems to be the only place big enough to accommodate stupid people...if I was in Asia I probably would have quit by now. Europe already claimed a member of my alliance...

My whole alliance has pretty much given up in Europe :lol: , so we have a temporary (I think) other guy there. The only negative on AM is the idiots..

It's been a while now (in fact it's been days), and there's still two airlines using more than two .5 frequencies to the same cities.
I've reported it in game, with no effect. By e-mail, the messages bounce.
The administrators need to keep a constant watch on Hong Kong - it's a magnet for incompetent people, as well as those using unfair methods of play to compensate for their lack of playing skill.

Reporting through in-game PM is a very very very bad idea. We have so many PM (for Skylite and me, who are the ones who should be contacted) that we don't really read the ones with auto-mail headers. Missing PM is also an issue when you get that many PMs.
By email should be fine. Make sure you have the correct email address :staff: . If that doesn't work, PM me or sla31 in forum.
It is very hard to keep constant watch in places. We are talking about 4 HKG's here, and potentially more. :wink:

One thing to remember about the frequency thing...smaller airlines have smaller planes. On a lot of routes to/from Atlanta and Chicago O'Hare, there are 767s being used along with 737s, ATRs, CASA 212s, etc. And of course, one 767 roundtrip equals about three 737 roundtrips.

Not the in-game PM, but the in-game reporting procedure through the Administration panel.
Yes, I did have the correct e-mail address. The bounce was due to either the receiving computer being off, the receiving mail server not functioning, or the mail box was full - so said the reports I received.
Any ways. It's gotten worst. There are now three airlines using more than 2x .5 freqs per destination.
Coupled with the multiple freqs with multiple aircraft, feeder airlines, and $1 routes, and now you telling me that cheating is hard to monitor. Makes honest people that work hard at this feel doubly frustrated.
Hong Kong - World #3. Clean out the garbage, please.

If a route goes too silly just close it. For example on the LHR-BRU route in W4 at the moment there are 5 (I think) B752+ 1 B763 frequencies+ tons of normal jets (A320, B737).
Well, since the ticket price went down to €40 I just dropped out of it. My only problem at the moment is that I wasn't able to check AM for about 2 weeks and that many of my routes are very low (requiring a clean-up that gets done when my props are replaced by jets)
