I don't think they'd like advice to make transatlantic routes when your airline in only worth 100 million :roll: CoughWorld9Cough

You should wait to create an alliance until you are quite a bit larger, maybe, a $5 million DOP or higher. When you join an alliance really depends on the alliance. For most alliances, you should wait until your value is in the $100 millions. In reality, you can join an alliance whenever you want, but IMO its a good idea to wait until the joining fee won't completely wreck your airline. :D
Does that answer your question? :)

That's just a one-time fee. Same with the fee to join an alliance. Thing is, you never get that money back (not even when people pay the $1M to join)

Is this W9? If so, yes. You should buy an F27-200 as soon as you get the money. :)

Cool. They're a great way to make money as a medium-sized airline such as yourself; as you continue to grow and add a second base you should start to buy jets like the Caravelle VI-N or R

Would work, but something closer to home would probably be better, i.e. one of the Milan airports, etc

I think I'll apply for help :lol: We are in world 8, Lord Voldemort of course. Anyways, as we are nearing 10 Billion in Value, do you thing this is a good time to create a 7th Base? Or do you think it'd be better a little later?
EDIT: I am a "New Finch" obviously. To supplement that,we have added new finch to our name.

Yes. You should have enough planes to handle it as well before you create the base. :)
