Hello all.

Although i dont mind having them scrapped to me as it is only a joke, I have a strong suspicion I am being charged for the scraps.

I have just over €400,000 DOP... I left my computer at 3am with my cash around €0, its now 13:40 and i only have roughly €1,000,000

 :?

Good to know! :twisted:
okay - let me check to see if you are ranked higher than me - if so, i'll scrap - if not i guess i won't.

General Chat / game question

« on: December 24, 2007, 06:03:20 pm »

The game hasn't started and no one is supposed to be making money.  That airline in question which shall remain anonymous is *ahem* dodgy so when our membership officers come online again, they should be able to deal with it.

Moved to general chat.

thanks

General Chat / game question

« on: December 23, 2007, 05:21:13 pm »

so i logged in 22 hours before the game started and created a few routes.   So far however, I have realized no income from those routes.  However, if you look at the rankings (and it's 2 hours before the game begins) the top airline has 6 million.  It looks like they are making money from routes (they don't have any planes leased out and they are operating routes and have passengers).

so the obvious question is how come they are making money before the game while  i am not?

General Chat / DOP

« on: October 25, 2007, 12:54:09 pm »

And that isn't even one of the mega-airports. LHR-CDG is at 30€- however, it started at 1500€. Competition is really huge, but so is the income (if you've got time to edit the routes)

that route is more about denial of profit for the competition, so put a plane there on low cost so noone can make big bucks
got dop? DOP:   €76,282,343

i'm going to die. there's no way i can ever catch up.

i want to be the only airline with rights to fly  LAX-HNL, LAX-NRT, LAX-SFO, LAX-SAN

I will share the following rights with other airlines (max 2 other airlines) LAX-JFK, LAX-LGA, LGA-DCA, LGA-BOS, JFK-LHR

This is not AE.  Capacity dumping doesn't work because it's so bloody cheap to fly these planes.  In fact, dumping results in a drop of loadfactor from 100% to 30% on part of the dumper if someone's Bellanca SuperduperAircruiser charges €0.1 less!





Thank you for reading my rant.

hey, i'm pretty new to AM - i'm guessing AE is another airline sim game.   And i guess your point is that you can't force someone out of a market by throwing capacity at them and undercutting the fare because the costs are so minimal that you only lose a tiny amount of money for flying empty.

so my question is this.... HOW does one get another airline out of a route ?

stephen - i know you are probably making a joke, but on the off chance that you didn't catch the reference ( i mean you are irish so why should you care about american airline history)

let's be honest... this is 1950 people (okay 1951 by the time you read it)
you think the airways were "open", you think "competition" existed.  

HECK NO!  Bring back the CAB - they will set route frequencies and prices!

(and if you want to fly from LAX to NYC and you don't have a CAB approved slot, too bad - you are out)
