Someone in-game me asking why am I giving so many loans. I am sure that others are asking the same question. There are many reasons for this. AE is a great game and perhaps one of the best of its type. However it gives unfair advantage to some not based on skill or ability but on other factor such as the time of entry into the game etc. When you look at some of the airlines between 100 and 600 you see good a/c utilisation as well as good route planning. In normal life these guys would have had a bankable proposition. My attempt is to give them an opportunity to grow for the ultimate benefit of AE even if it means competing with me.

Secondly, I believe that creditworthiness could be an important feature in AE. If a rating system was in place people would have confidence in loaning others a/c, mone, gates etc for a fee as well as pursuing other type facilities. Hopefully, the information gathered from this scheme along with those from gate traders and other dealers could be used to establishing that system.

Lastly, I am not going to catch any of the 6 guys in front of me and I am not too worried about the 6 guys closest to me. Consequently, I need to find something to keep me thinking.

Most of those top guys you talk about also agree with this statement, so all you have done is taken what AE should of established from day one, thats taking the step that I for one hope AE will give strong consideration towards having a loan on performance or other method based program in any future versions. Keep up the good work Ken :)

Having a loan system in AE would be ideal, not for the bigger airlines, for those medium-small airlines perhaps looking at acquring some better planes to be able to increase their profit margin and net profit.

Im sure Miller and torque have looked at it and perhaps will include it in a future version of AE. :)

Do you still need a loan? I guess your cash balance should be already enough for those big aircrafts.

Well talking about making profit, it's getting harder and harder now. More people have jumped into the same routes killing each other with lower fares or better aircrafts T_T
I wish you all the best.
Goodbye everybody.

Piercey, I can get a few A333's together and make KIX my new Asian hub if you prefer that?

I have no idea, some guy called Australis. Man, what a n00b :D

Either way, anyone want to write a recommendation letter for palm tree so I can get my loan?

oh, and Shepparton, the majority of my fleet is Q400s, so that gives you an idea :)

OK Just for you here is a Letter to be used how you would like to:


Letter of Recommendation -

While working with AE , I have always found piercey working studiously and sincerely at his AE computer screen without idling or gossiping with colleagues.

He seldom wastes his time on useless things. Given a job to correct routes place aircraft on their given route they at times end up in nowhereland but do arrive in due course, he always finishes the given assignment but not in time. Be he upsets a few fellow players along the way He is always deeply engrossed in his official work, and can never be found chitchatting in the forums.

He has absolutely no vanity in spite of his high accomplishment and profound knowledge of his field. I think he can easily be classed as outstanding, and should on no account be dispensed with as the way he runs his airline he will soon flow down the plug hole.

I strongly feel that piercey should be pushed to accept this loan you may offer him, and a proposal should be sent to him for the grand total of $1 AE Dollar should be sent his way as soon as possible. As for sure he will soon find a way to not even pay that back.
