1st RESET EXECUTED, NEXT RESET JULY 8th}Ultra Competitive/Realistic world

[Dobbins]

I may or may not join, depending on my mood when the world opens

At this point I am planning on having a couple hundred slots and no password, so you can join whenever you want.

I like the idea very much! I would like to suggest studying the possibility of code share agreement not only alliances. The difference would be that in a code share agreement you will not be able to start routes from other bases but you will benefit in two ways: passengers flying from or to your origin point. For example if carrier A flies from North America to Europe, then carrier B can take those passengers throughout its european/middle east/asian network. The revenues can be shared or there can be a fixed monthly fee.

Also, when joining an alliance, airlines shouldn´t be able to compete on existing routes. The idea is to open up new routes to new destinations.

[Dobbins]

That sounds great, but you realize that I am not an Airline Mogul Staff member and can't initiate anything like that?

[gopats1479]

That's the only drawback, but hey, how many airports are in the proximity of Salt Lake City? Or Buenos Aires?

Anyway, you get my point of not wanting a mainstream aircraft, right?

Yeah, I get it. Just remember China
Why not use Tupolev or some Soviet manufacturer? I thought Boeing and Airbus were the mainstream AC, not MD.

[1993matias]

Something no-one would use normally. Not even Tupolev and Ilyushin (maybe I'm too picky now?). Maybe just start with a few turboprops?

[AirbusGuy350]

I will be a caribbean Airline and will be be looking for a major US Airline as a partner.

[AirbusL1011]

AirbusGuy350, do you want to partner with a australian airline?(me!)

I may or may not join, depending on my mood when the world opens

But may I suggest a non-mainstream aircraft - such as Dassault Mercure - so everybody doesn't fly around with Boeing, and only Boeing? That would make it a bit more realistic. This would also make the aircraft market a bit more varied. Try reducing the amount of aircraft a bit, so we don't get a running start, make it a bit harder

Dassault Mercure:
Seats   150
Speed   499
Range   1,058
Fuel Usage   836

OMG the bristol PULLMAN has more range then that thing!

[AirbusGuy350]

It can work we can have an Alliance so now we need a North American airline an Asian airline, South American, African, and European.

[secretformula]

I got North America if you wouldn't mind

[East West Airlines]

Damm... Looks like someone beat me to it haha but Airbusguy350 I guess its up to you on which one of us who want it actually take North America. Otherwise I will go off and do my own thing in this world... Still in North America tho

[secretformula]

Trollways FTW! I look forward to friendly competing with you sir

[East West Airlines]

Yes, I love good competition in worlds like this! Looking Forward to it!

[Dobbins]

I will be based out of Europe for this one.  I'm not sure which airport yet, but it will either be London, Paris, or Amsterdam.  I'll be going for a legacy carrier, but I would totally be up for an alliance.

Also, with so much discussion for planes, I have come to a conclusion.  I am going to create a poll.  I will list  plane listed so far, as well as any others which are nominated.  We can all vote on with which plane we will start.

I do have to ask why so many peoplee want to start this world with small or obscure planes.  First off, not many airlines start with a DHC-200 and grow from there in the real world, and second, starting with smaller planes will really discourage anyone who starts late or gets reset from playing.  This is why I really like the Boeing 737s or Douglas DC-9s.  Like I said though, make suggestions and I'll create a poll this weekend.

[East West Airlines]

Since I will not be a part of Airbusguys alliance, I have actually founded one in another world called SkyConnect while ago and if anyone is interested, I will happily start it up again in this world. You're thoughts, anyone who would like to join? We'll talk strategy once we know where everyone plans on basing

[Dobbins]

I'd like a spot in that alliance, if you don't mind.
