A little pet peeve of mine is airlines with irrelevant names. I'd say the most common instance is airlines named after a certain country or region but the airline might not even have one gate in that area. For example, an airline named Air India with it's only hub in Dallas. Whenever I see this I'm just kind of like "... why? (http://s2.cdn.gaiaonline.com/images/common/smilies/icon_sweatdrop.gif)". This game kind of has an rpg feel to it, and bad names like that break the immersion. A real airline with an irrelevant name would probably sink fast :P But whatever, we're all free to use whatever names we like, and we all have our own opinions on what makes a good or bad name...

Yes, I know what you mean....
Cathay Pacific in Taiwan,
Qantas (Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services) in the UK
:roll:

This is why I choose a name that would fit anywhere no matter what. :wink:
-
Eurpacific in Eastern USA?
-
I don't see what the problem is myself. I mean, as long as the guy isn't saying something offensive in his name, I can't see why anyone would be annoyed with it. Sometimes it would seem out of place, but aside from that, people can choose to name their airline what they want. I have seen some even more strange airlines names out there than those anyways.

Yea, but its just a little but wierd......
Like British Airways in PEK, isnt that a but strange? :?
-
That's why I go with UnderwAir and Janet. :)
-
Yeah in W4 I think it was there was an Emirates in the USA.. :lol:
I stick with VincentAir wherever I am, but that's because hardly anyone has heard of it.
-
I've always used Dream but that can always change. Whenever I choose my airline name I base it on the route structure and the geographical location etc.
My friends called pinky airlines :lol:

Some players stick with the same airline name between rounds/worlds, even if changing hubs. I see nothing wrong with that. It's just a label and it even helps in knowing who's who.

"Immersion?"
I think you have more pressing issues to be concerned about.

Is there anything wrong with enjoying the game? Without any sense of imagination you're just playing with numbers on a screen :s I see no issues here.

It's all about having a little fun, and taking little jabs at people after they've had a meltdown. Take mine (right now) for instance. How many airlines do you see named "Pigs Can Fly?" But as always, there's a story behind it. 8)
