Yo Dude,

We had a nice little market there by the bay.  Everybody was making money.  You, me and sometimes some other guys.  But then you decided you wanted it all for yourself.  So, you loaded up the routes you competed against me with cheap fares and high frequency.  You drew the big guns as you brought out your mighty Caravelle 10Bs with your 4x frequency and cheap fares on our shared routes.  All that just to blow out my poor little Embraer's and Fairchilds.  What'd I do to you?  Why so selfish?  Okay, you got me, I dropped my fares and now we're not making that much money.  But dude, your plane cost 30 million and mine 3.2 million.  Your ROI doesn't make sense.  If you had shareholder's they would be voting you out of office or worse, stringing you up by the jewells.  Stop the madness!  Step away from the abyss as there's enough room for all of us.

Sincerely,

Chuck

Its not against the rules. He can try to force you out of a market if he wants to. And Ryanairs shareholders dont vote out Michael O. Leary out because he buys lots of 737-800s and fly them at cheap prices :roll:

At least you don't have any A300's to fight against :( :lol: If you have a problem with this guy, send him a message directly ingame, not a public post on the forum

It is just a game, after all.  Unless you have a bet with this guy or something (which dktc would most likely not approve of :roll: ) it's not that big of a deal.

If a CEO dumps 777s to kill off competition from EMB170s on a route. He gets my vote.

Kleenex called and said thanks for the raise in sales.  Also their stockholders called and said thanks for the record profits!!!!   It's called fair market competition in the real world.  Adapt of be phased out.  Do you hear all the other airlines complaining about WN's fuel hedges?  It's the same things in essence!
