In the used aircraft market, you can select all the aircraft you want and "buy all selected aircraft." I would think it would be a great idea to add "lease all selected aircraft" this would make leasing used aircraft much easier instead of leasing them one at a time which is a pain when you're leasing a lot of aircraft.

I agree this is definitely needed

This would greatly hinder the ability for smaller airlines to grow.

I'm strongly opposed to this idea. It would allow large airlines to monopolize the secondhand market even more than they already do.

[parsonparsons]

As someone who has a giant airline right now I am strongly opposed as well.  Just too easy to take over the used market. Being able to lease all those planes all at once would make it even worse

Logically it would make sense to have, but it would make it far too easy to monopolise the used market in a new game world.

I know it would allow them to control it more, but smaller airlines could grow quicker with this. The big monopolies can already buy all of the used aircraft cause they have the money. Maybe they could do something where the airline's total valuation must be bellow a certain amount for this option.

As another big airline owner, I'm also against, even though it would make my life easier. It would be a big help to those who want to grow huge.

Big airlines don't necessarily have cash in a few first years, I know I was leasing big time with 2000+ planes because you just keep on growing. If a young big spamline has a billion $, that's enough to lease 200 planes, but if you buy them you can afford "only" 10. You will still have a nice click-fest and monopolize the market, but certainly more slowly and others will get the chance to catch a good used plane.

 

If you're planning a small airline, you just don't need that kind of help.

You won't have any problems leasing something like one or five aircraft one by one, it takes less than one minute if you know how to use the basic mouse.

Maybe allow if only below a certain amount of cash.

[konj1]

I don't see that would help, as I said, you can be pretty low on cash but still have a nice spam. Spend and spend, easier to start earning and get a mountain of cash to start buying and get on to some real spamming.

I still just see this as a way to help the big airlines while trying to help the little guys.  The little guys essentially have to be quicker on the click...It still gives the big airlines an advantage.  I don't know how you would enforce a cash on hand amount either.  The problem is we can have I think 10k leases at a time.  We are just over halfway through a 30 year game right now and I am leading with only 13,918 planes.  I say only because that is only 3, 918 planes over the max I could have if I leased.  If I was able to lease all of those planes it would have just allowed me to grow even quicker.  Right now there are only two airlines that have over 7k planes.  I'm not entirely sure what the answer is, but I know the big airlines would just abuse it early until they could buy everything safely.  Big guys would get bigger and the little guys would have even less of a chance than they do now

You can code it so if you have under $1,000,000,000 for instance, you can multi-leade, otherwise curent system. Maybe lower, but it is an idea that can be implemented

[5280_Av8r]

I'd recommend that they code it to where if you have $100,000,000 or less you can multi-lease, but if you have more than $100,000,000 then they code it where you cannot multi-lease.

[alexSD]

This is really needed!!

[dazwalsh]

No, no its not. Big airlines will just select everything and buy them all, just for the s***s n giggles.

Bad bad idea

 Like I said, they should code the game to where the airline has to have less than $1,000,000 or maybe even less to select multiple used aircraft and lease them all at once.

[iquit]

Like I said, they should code the game to where the airlines are not profitable enough to be able to buy huge amount of aircraft in one shot.

[NotSureWhatToUse]

 True but it would decrease the airline reputation because you are getting used aircraft that has been used for lets say 7 years.
