Have just been checking my routes and noticed a new airline, British 1, has started flying 1900s SYD-BNE, their only route, at a much lower price than anyone else. There are already ten airlines on this route.

Why the hell would you start up on a route with so much competition? I can't work it out. It just stuffs up an already crowded market.

If you are a noob I understand, but if you are just trying to bring down other airlines you have nothing but my utter contempt.

Opinions?

Rant over.

Well, I guess he shouldn't undercut everyone by THAT much, although I doubt he's making a good profit. It may drive his load factor up, but he wont get much cash. Maybe just a new player...

Better than some airlines who use 29 B1900's on one route to hog gates...

1. Must be new
2. Had no indication at the start how profitable that route would be
3. I guess he thinks making 20k would be cool...

Dude, relax. When u start, u hardly know the level of competition upon entering AE. I can relate, becuase when i started, most routes were over-saturated with competition and u just have to sometimes, undercut the competition to make a cent...

Im just it will be huge learning experience for the person there

Arnt you like player 350 or something, your like a veteran at this game.

Im just annoyed with Ajax as she has only been on the same time as me (nearly) and is been in the top 10 twice

And yes, these noobs can be a problem, lets hope in V3 there is some sort of limit to how many airlines can operate a route...

[Canadian]

Or a limit on the number of players alltogether...You don't see airlines popping up every minute like this in real life...

[dazwalsh]

yeah they will then post asking why dont they make any money at end of month due to gate costs being taken from profits

isnt there something like 2000 airlines in real life?

[Alex_Stankevitch]

And fix that damned log-in failsafe (not that safe) which stops your airline after 14 days.

There should be alot more cheat police around that can stop useless airlines. They could contact them with a warning.

Also something like a negative gross profit thing where if you get a negative gross profit for like an AE year then you get reset.

[LeipeLimbo]

don't forget the cheat-police does this out of free will - in their own free time .And if you think more people needed .well why don't you voluenteer ?

I don't think that is half as bad as the people who use their aircraft just to hog gates. Its funny how you will see all the top people always complaining about stupid crap like this but the first thing they do is use every small aircraft they have to take every gate they can out of their hub. That is the real problem, and that is the real cheat. These players are not good at all, my 2yr old could win if he had all the gates.........

its just one of those things one has to put up with
