It's not against the rules.

Hardly.

[airLondonLife]

I am getting angry though!

Real airlines copy each others fleet - how many airlines do have the 737, 757 and 767? Or the 319, 320 and 321?

And how many airlines share hubs? And fly to the same destinations?

I think you can't take a little competition if you want the admins to take a look at this. Get over it.

Why are we allowed to continue posting like an adolescent child when we don't get our way?

[Virgin Serbia]

It's called competition. Get over it, or start your own PW without any competition.

Mate, it should say why is he

100% agree with Virgin Serbia and pseudoswede.

Take a look at the Dallas Fort Worth Airport operations in  PW#1956, there are 3 airlines based there but none of the members complain about 'stealing' or 'copying' their routes.

LinkAir is also a member of OneSky, and joining OneSky doesn't mean he will be forced to change his/her hub. Take a(nother) look at the rules and read rule #1;

1) If you and another member has the same hub, remember not to fiercely compete. You can compete with each other, but don\'t do it fiercely.

It isn't against OneSky rules to be in the same hub or to copy other's fleet plan/routes; it only states don't fiercely compete with each other

P.S. Save up the tokens and then create your dream world that only allows 1 player.

Yay! I will launch the world I was planning!

I dont hear the real world airlines bitching and moaning. I think someone cant handle a bit of competition, oh and it's only a game, so dont get so worked up

[Flybynight747]

Surely it IS the competition and cut and thrust that MAKES the game?

I don't mean wading in to a new base and destroying all the legacy airlines there, but building a network and keeping your Airline profitable and nimble DESPITE lots of competition?

On a final note, if you are doing such a 'great' job, wouldn't you be flattered by another Airline using your business model to succeed?

I have learnt more from playing games in which HAL operates than any other.... now there IS someone to try and copy.... success wise.
