Soarin' is Looking for an Alliance

I'm just curious? Why?

Why? Personally, I wouldn't call EuroSkies a 'bad' alliance. It is one that faces some significant challenges.

1. Its membership is primarily newer players. There aren't any seasoned vets to bounce an idea off of.

2. Its membership is primarily small airlines. Simply put, you don't have a critical economic mass to use some of the rules to your benefits. The alliances with larger players have the ability to use the delivery rules to ensure that needed A/C are continuously flowing into their operations. Realistically, EuroSkies largest member is smaller than some other alliances smallest one. It places you guys at a disadvantage.

3. EuroSkies doesn't have specific slot rules inside the alliance(maybe you do, but they aren't apparent). Take a look at the area of operations of the member lines. You will see that in many places the members are competitors for routes and therefore yields. Take Soarin' for example(nothing against Soarin', its just this thread initially was about you.), not only are Soarin' and Hawk US operators. They are both western US operators.

4. Lack of a aircraft broker. Delivery slots and order queues are killer, a broker goes a long way to breaking those.

I'm certainly not trying to be an ass, but don't ask questions you really aren't interested in hearing answers to.
