How did Europacific order Douglas DC-9-40s?  I would like to order some myself.

You can find some old, cheap Janes books on ebay.

There are many really short flights in the real world. Detroit-Flint, many 10-15 minute flights in Japan, Papeete-Huahine is 10 minutes, etc.

I plan to ramp up costs a lot.

It would be good to see costs go up for airlines that have every airplane model under the sun. Maintenance & training costs should double for every new aircraft model that airlines add to their fleet. I only use 2 types so my overhead should be much lower than airlines with 10 or 20 different airplane models.

Also wages should be higher for airlines based in London or Tokyo as opoosed to someone in Des Moines, Iowa.

E is for Europe too? (EHAM, EGLL)

Northern Europe. To be more exact: UK, Ireland, Germany, Denmark, Belgium, Holland, Norway, Sweden, Poland, etc.

That is the advantage of having a broker in your alliance.

Actually its a FU to the rest of the alliances that don't have brokers. With only 4 brokers for 100 alliances and 2000 airlines? Then USG has 2 brokers, yeah! That's balance!  

So what?!  Rigged by design, that's what it is. What a farce.

It is not like I am a social worker or a guest relation officer.

You should. You would be great. No I'm not constantly complaining about the game. Over the months I've just raised issues with the 737-300ER and other weird aircraft, stupidly large signature banners and the conflict of interest with brokers playing too much of a role with alliances. That's it.

Juancho, if you think there are so many flaws in this game, go elsewhere. No one forces you to be here.

Nice! Instead of being open to ideas for improvement you tell people to take a hike. Very professional, especially from a moderator.

Except we rely heavily on our airlines DOP to subsidize our brokerage.  I was devoting last round 160 million dollars a day of my airlines DOP to my brokerage.  If we don't have our airlines DOP we can't run our brokerage.

If that's the case then this system is totally flawed from the get go.

That's fine with me. As long as brokers are not in any alliance and negotiate rates equally and fairly to all players across the board.

I see it clearly. Just that if that is taken away, the players would no longer get the benefit of cheap planes and old planes. (and no, this is not a threat)

Dude what are you talking about?  So if brokers are not allowed to be in an alliance the entire broker system would implode?  Really?!

I figured you wouldn't see any conflict of interest. That's fine, we'll just agree to disagree.
