What would you do if... (Pick one or more)

• Your fleet of Boeing 757-200 simultaneously broke down?
• A competing airline sent you a letter saying "Get out of the airline business or else!"
• You order 3 Boeing 787-800. They don't arrive when it should have.
• One of your most prized planes crashed into the ocean.
• Your airline suddenly lost all of its money and you didn't spend any money before it happened.
• One of your employees is found dead under a competitor's plane.
• You won the lottery.
• An airline wanted to merge with your airline and was planning to make it better. But that airline ended up making it worse.
• You got a letter that said "You have won a free A380!"
• You have a major loss in profit because of a competitor on the same route as you. This competitor is trying to lower their prices so much to kick you out of the ATL-LHR route.

This is something that you can do if your bored.

-I would ground my 757s and hanve Boeing and the NTSB investigate. If fixable then fix, if not then retire the 757s
-Send a letter back to the airline that says "If you cant handle my competition then get outa my hub"
-Make Boeing give me a free 787 or I will cancel my order.
-Replace the plane
-Nothing
-File a lawsuit
-Use 75% of the money to fix the airline, keep the rest
-Consolidate
-Use it
-Follow price until barely profitable, then maintain price

1. Your fleet of Boeing 757-200 simultaneously broke down?
Send pilots home, mechanics to work, write all lost profits + mechanic overtime off, tell public it was a software glitch in booking, offer $100 coupons for $500 flights (write those off too) for the inconvenience, go golfing.

2. A competing airline sent you a letter saying "Get out of the airline business or else!"
Send back a message: "Who are you?"
If they answer say "Sorry, never heard of you, must of been the noise from my brand new Viper."

3. You order 3 Boeing 787-800. They don't arrive when it should have.
Write off lost profits, downsize 6 senior pilots, go golfing. When planes arrive, hire brand new (read cheap) pilots or the old pilots back for a reduced salary.

4. One of your most prized planes crashed into the ocean.
Contact insurance agent, tell 'em that three did, when they arrive in a panic explain that it was a misunderstanding, that they'll only have to pay for one. Go fishing.

5. Your airline suddenly lost all of its money and you didn't spend any money before it happened.
Sell all stocks, retire the same day, spend rest of days riding 4x4s in Wyoming

6. One of your employees is found dead under a competitor's plane.
Write off training costs + extra for recruitment, check to see what the employee was trying to mess with at the time. Hire someone to finish job if need be.

7. You won the lottery.
Sell all stocks, retire and buy a ranch in Wyoming the same day.

8. An airline wanted to merge with your airline and was planning to make it better. But that airline ended up making it worse.
Sell all stocks before the public figures it out, retire

9. You got a letter that said "You have won a free A380!"
Forward it to the local police department, inform them it's a Nigerian scam. Claim you've gotten thousands of them, which costs a lot to filter through, write off "filtering costs" on taxes.

10. You have a major loss in profit because of a competitor on the same route as you. This competitor is trying to lower their prices so much to kick you out of the ATL-LHR route.
Offer $1 fares, but only for 6 seats on each plane, charge excessive amounts for the rest. After the month it takes the public to figure it out offer mail in rebates which are sent to a third party "company," act shocked and dismayed when the company doesn't come through. Repeat until competition gives up.

Thanks Timsher btw

1. Your fleet of Boeing 757-200 simultaneously broke down?
Point my finger to the competitor and denie every charge of guilty:D

2. A competing airline sent you a letter saying "Get out of the airline business or else!"
Ask the press what the competitor means with ''or else!''

3. You order 3 Boeing 787-800. They don't arrive when it should have.
Boeing is supposed to pay the costs then

4. One of your most prized planes crashed into the ocean.
It floats, right?:puzzled:

5. Your airline suddenly lost all of its money and you didn't spend any money before it happened.
Ask mom and dad to back me up a bit

6. One of your employees is found dead under a competitor's plane.
Send flowers to his/her family


7. You won the lottery.
I would buy a big icecream:)

8. An airline wanted to merge with your airline and was planning to make it better. But that airline ended up making it worse.
Revolution! European style


9. You got a letter that said "You have won a free A380!"
Ask them if i can have a A340 instead

10. You have a major loss in profit because of a competitor on the same route as you. This competitor is trying to lower their prices so much to kick you out of the ATL-LHR route.

Offer cold ice tea on board works all the time

• Sell them to puny airlines
• Assasinate them first
• Move on to Airbus, and complain, alot. Spam them every 5 mins.
• Sue god (if there is one) for making the ocean
• Click the "Refund" button
• Clean it up, dead bodies smell bad
• Buy a private A380
• As long as I get 1st class tickets
• Check the fine print
• Blow up their plane, blame it on the dog

• 9. sell it and buy a megayacht

[Whatever]

1. Stop my 2000-3500 mile routes for years to come.
2. See the competitor's losses and send a return letter saying "Shouldn't you get out of the airline business because of how much cash you've lost the last couple of years?".
3. Tell myself "Meh, 787s are worthless anyway." and swiftly cancel my orders.
4. Buy another aircraft of the exact same type.
5. Get a loan of $10,000,000 from my grandfather who obviously started the airline.
6. Hmmm...I'm gonna ask my secretary..."We sue?" "Sue out the ass, sir."
7. Be neutral about the whole thing because my airline makes like 3 times the cash in a day than what I won from the lottery.
8. Take my 737s, my 747s, my A350s, my ATR-42s, my cargo aircraft and my SSTs and terminate our contract.
9. Nothing. It's probably just a Nigerian scam.
10. My airline doesn't have a hub in LHR.
