who's brussels  airlines?? ?? they dont have any routes!

[jayceon]

Yes, it's a shame Brussels Airlines isn't doing a thing. He got a great hub there! Very much in the center of Europe with 18.5mln pax.

I have noticed a problem with the elimination system.  I stated that no airline would be reset within the first twelve RW days, but airlines are joining late, which means they won't have the full year to grow.  Here is the new plan.  Any airline which joins will have 10-15 days depending on when they joined before they will be eligible to be reset.  If an airline joins within three days of a reset, they will have 15 days (they will be immune from the next two), but if they join four days or more before a reset, they will only have immunity for that reset.

In other words, lets say ABC Air joins on June 29th.  Since the next reset is July 2nd, and the one after that is July 8th, they will have immunity from both resets.  If they join on June 28th, they will only have immunity for the July second reset.

That sounds confusing, but I am just trying to make it fair.  Also, I have moved the first reset back to July 2nd, and all airlines that have already joined and any airlines which join between now and June 23rd will be eligible to be reset.  This has been added to the OP.

Que the questions and complaints.

then i can only say that its going to be one helluva ride managing this world.

TransSky alliance has been opened-i have recieved permission from AirbusGuy350 to create it. the people who wished to join (AirbusGuy350, secretformula and myself) can now join, and any others can if they want.

Seems like a really interesting world. I think I'll begin my return to AM here. I might join today or tomorrow if I have the time and will probably base in Europe. (maybe Rome FCO, Zurich, CPH or Munich, I'll see)

So If I join tomorrow, I'll be immune to any resets within my first year of operations?

[Dobbins]

There is no reset for the rest of this month, that way all of us can get established.  So no, you will not receive immunity if you join before June 23rd, and if you join after June 23rd, you will be immune for the first reset, but we will all have a one week jump on you anyway.

[Japanair]

OK. I'll try to join ASAP then. Thanks!

HAH! one of the delta airlines changed their name to American... still unbelievably uncreative... and still killing me, every time i log in I have to lower my prices a bit...

We are up to 25 airlines now, with the latest two being out of Las Vegas, and a second airline out of London Heathrow (I am the first )

Just a suggestion, but maybe we could move the standings to the message board in-game, so that any players not on the forum will be able to post comments.

Good idea. Also post the rules there so people are familiar with the them. It wouldn't be much of a surprise either once they get reset if their performance keeps behind.

[GQfluffy]

Ah hell...I'll join up tomorrow. Y'all need a little Fluff in your life. 

I'm not sure yet where I'll be going; I don't even know where I've been. As I said in another thread...I'm not even sure of the rules of the game. I'm just thinking of staying with aircraft below 100 passengers. Just for fun. Just to see if I can do it. And if I get reset due to...'real life', then so be it.

[AirbusL1011]

I'm going to be away from 2nd july to the 13th, so can you please reveal the standings so that i can improve my airline if needed-?

[Dobbins]

Since there are now 47 players and many of them have multiple hubs, it takes me a long time to update standing-like an hour or more, so sorry, if you want to find out exactly where you stand, you'll have to do it yourself.  My advice is look at the formula in the original post, figure out where your airline is at, and find a couple of weaker airlines, run their numbers, and make sure your airline is okay.
