I, AirXpress swear to only fly Round-Trips

I, AirXpress swear to never fly 0.5 frequencies

Post here if your airline can also promise not to abuse the use of 0.5 frequencies.

up to 2 0.5 frequencys per plane can be real under certain circumstances.

Well, Stephen said in another thread that in his opinion, 1x 0.5 is allowed, while 2x 0.5 is allowed for Base-to-Base routes.

I have every plan on sticking to the above.

I have a few 0.5 routes, but that's mostly due to 7,000+nm city pairs and only enough hours for such a frequency, and I may have one or two domestic 0.5 routes, but that is about it. I also vow to not abuse the 0.5 frequency bit because I don't think it's right...

I just read this thread. I'm new in the game (started last week), and yes, now I think it's something like a question of honour to fly roundtrips.
Of course, in reality planes may have routings like DCA-ORD-MIA-BWI-ATL or so. But since there is a return flight in the flighttable (i.e. DCA-ORD XY100,
ORD-DCA XY101), and because these complex routings cannot be setup in AM, we should use returnflights whenever possible.
I still have 0.5 routes ex MXP and OSL, but I will change that asap, whenever I have the time to re-route everything. The 0.5's ex ATH are to fill the aircraft's hours.

Italian Star International (ITS) won't abuse 0.5 frequencies (I don't care about the ranking).

hmm, I´m using a lot of 0.5 freqs, is that illegal?, I´m new, it´s a great way to survive :?

I, Attention City Express, hereby promise not to use more than one 0.5 frequency on one route.

If you do not use more than one 0.5 frequency on a single route then I think it would not be illegal.

I won't play against the rules of reality!

0.5 frequencies happen in real life when planes are positioning in. And also when Air France base a plane in the carribean.

Correct.
