While I enjoyed the benefits of starting out with a bigger airplane (it was much harder getting things going with that Beech last round), IMO the game has been altered in an un-natural manner by the bigger starter plane.
In particular, whenever accounts are closed, brokers end up with them, which they in turn sell/lease, sometimes on the open market, and sometimes through private transactions.
Airlines that have been lucky enough to pick them up on the cheap have derived considerable benefit at the expense of the rest.
I expect that the advantage associated with this will dissipate as the round progresses, but it has been marked thus far.
My thoughts:
-Beech was too small; something with 30-50 seats would be better
-revise the scrapping system (IMO scrapped planes should simply disappear from the game; if that sounds too drastic, maybe put some measures in place to boost the costs that the brokers have to incur)
