Yuxi did fix this exploit in the brand new R6 world by allowing only 1 airline per player.
I prefer it this way.........and it looks like I'm in a good position to become the #1 airline in R6.
But I know by the second year it becomes much more time consuming to run a big airline which will become a problem for me.

Well......the airline that has been doing this is still in business ( and #1) even though I made it pretty clear what was going on.
Yuxi has'nt said a word about this saying it's wrong.........if he did'nt want this to happen it would be pretty easy to fix.
If you want to be a top airline then you need to take advantage of all the opportunities that are available to you by the game.

Actually.......I do not like the used aircraft system or the new aircraft ordering system in place now........where you can only have 1 aircraft delivered every 2 - 3 weeks or so.
That is not how the real world works but we have to use this game as it's set up to use.

You have to accept that the game is far more ruthless than in real life also that some players are prepared to spend far more hours on the game than you are able to play.

Also don't forget it is a global game. It is just possible that because of delays between selling planes and them coming on the market, or when an administrator releases a backlog of planes, to be playing when few others are about. I'm in the UK and 7am local time is a good time to look for planes in the used market. Middle of the night in US and middle of the day further east.

1 airline per player for the first week--coincidentally, when the used aircraft market opens up.

So I've taken my airline ......WestAir to #1 in R6 and now would'nt you know it........I have to let it go because I have to leave town for a bit and I've become too busy to properly manage a #1 airline.
WestAir is first in every major category......aircraft, large aircraft, passenger numbers, distance, profit and net worth.
I've equiped it with the largest and most efficient aircraft in every class and with nice options, it's head office is in Denver and it has Terminals in Denver, Chicago and St Louis.
WestAir already has over 100 aircraft and owns a number of it's own and there is several hundred million ready to spend now........did this all in the first year

In short, if someone had the time to run WestAir well there's no reason it can't finish R6 in the number one spot !
So I'm looking for someone to take it over

Potential scenario:

* Player starts two airlines (Airline A and Airline B )
* Both airlines buys/leases as many 737-400 as possible for each airline
* Airline A hoards cash while maintaining B734 deliveries as well as purchasing from the used market
* Airline B buys all B734s from leassor
* Deadline for aircraft market flooding restrictions
* Airline B goes bankrupt
* Airline A buys/leases all of Airline B's B734s from the used market

Very good that's very possible

Also, what happens to cancelled leases? Don't have time to try it myself, but if I lease a plane and then cancel the lease, does it end up in the used market?
