Industrial averages have gone through the roof. I'm not, for example, prepared to match an industrial average of $72 for ground crew.

I hate these tactics...

[parsonparsons]

what exactly should the wages be? this is my first time playing in about 4 years and 4 years ago we didnt have all these fancy things! i knew i was leaking money, just wasnt sure where

In the last day of R5 some idiot decided it would be interesting to see what would happen if they paid their staff over $3m an hour but they were easily identified by Yuxi as they were Trillions of $'s in the red. Surprisingly they only had two aircraft. If you are paying your staff below the industrial average they become unhappy and staff turnover increases which increases your costs as replacements have to be trained.

This time there are two airlines, based in Italy, both with just 2 aircraft but over $700,000,000 in debt presumably they are the culprits. Admin do a grand job but they are going to have their work cutout if they have to cope with malicious acts.

Yeah I hate these people. You cannot afford to be able to pay that and why do they even do that? It's just a waste of money for everyone

[LTU]

exactly, why are the avg salaries rising so quickly?

[Pineair]

Probably because a small minority find it fun. There is one 'airline' which has no planes and a slogan "here to go bankrupt" which currently has a debt of over $13 billion.

Perhaps the method of calculating the averages needs to be changed so that it ignores the top 10%, and the bottom 10%.

The game need to just dump airlines that go over 3 bil in the red. That would at least limit these tactics. Or go red for X months.

The max limit is $9999, but obviously it's an easy hack (which will be patched once I find the time) to make it the max allowed integer value (2.147 billion). Nevertheless, in the meantime anyone setting wages over the 4-digit limit (which requires a hack) will be treated as cheaters and dealt with accordingly.

We will move to a median-based system (instead of mean) soon, so that should dilute the effect of one airline feeding in outliers for the fun of it.

Will this be implemented in the current S1 world, or are we stuck with the high average wages?

The offending payroll has been removed.

Seriously, who's that stupid to do that?

[Alfrenzo]

And seriously, who's that stupid to revive a dead thread?
