He took a bond out, most likely.

But bonds is not a good thing to use, cause they would restrict the amount of airplane you can lease, this would last around 1 to 3 months in the game or more

[TheMan]

If you lease bonds in the beginning of the month they literally **** you.

theyare not always bad, i took out the full 3 bonds for 5 mill, and now i am in 11 place, with almost 250 aircrafts 3 years into the game, all wide body jets exeps my 50 or so 737-300s

In 3 years i usually be able to be on top 5 rankings, taking that much bonds will reduced the aircraft you can lease within several months of the game, which mean rapid expansion would be quite impossible, those big airlines on top 5 would not take any bonds to be able to repair their credit. Less credit percentages, more plane you can leased at the same time

Bonds aren't always bad, but they lower your credit rating. If it gets too low, you won't be able to lease planes. I think you can take out two or three bonds, for about $10m, at the start without messing things up too much. You should then still be able to lease up to 100 planes, which will do you until a point where your credit rating ought to have improved anyway.

[Hake.]

I take out bonds when necessary. Then again, I relax my expansion.

[Vitor Sousa]

If you catch a bond your credit rating will go down.

[davedave]

Your credit rating goes down with each bond you take out - and each month you make a loss? - and goes up each month you make a profit. 

[airlines08]

I think bonds is very useful at the start to lease an aircraft. Take 2 x 5 millions of bonds then you can lease about 5-6 aircrafts and you will be restricted to lease only 20 aircrafts at that time.

 

But, when your aircraft is almost 20, your credit rating will be better with this condition : you always pay the interest payment on-time (automatically every month at the same date of bonds issued if you have a sufficient cash), and you can lease more aircraft again.

Hey, that's me

 

I'm fairly new to AE and I wanted to try a different strategy with this game, so I took a bond out and leased a few planes to start out as a heavy regional airline.  So far it's going fairly well and I'm fairly comfortably in the black, but we'll see how/if the lease limit (60 right now) effects me in the future.

Yeah, the limits only getting better every month if you didn't have negative balance, so it would took at least a month to leased more plane
