I don't think they'd like advice to make transatlantic routes when your airline in only worth 100 million

Well, i have a question.

What would be the ideal time to create / join an alliance?

In terms of company value / DOP / Routes etc

You should wait to create an alliance until you are quite a bit larger, maybe, a $5 million DOP or higher. When you join an alliance really depends on the alliance. For most alliances, you should wait until your value is in the $100 millions. In reality, you can join an alliance whenever you want, but IMO its a good idea to wait until the joining fee won't completely wreck your airline.

Does that answer your question?

That's just a one-time fee. Same with the fee to join an alliance. Thing is, you never get that money back (not even when people pay the $1M to join)

Is this W9? If so, yes. You should buy an F27-200 as soon as you get the money.

Cool. They're a great way to make money as a medium-sized airline such as yourself; as you continue to grow and add a second base you should start to buy jets like the Caravelle VI-N or R
