If you now look at legs in Europe that are a lead distance of 400miles, the asking price was $170.......now the USA Players have arrived and knocked it down to $40 ...........
Understand that I am not just stating USA Players as there are others but I have to state one major Airline thats started the price war and others follow.....leaving small airlines unable to match...
This will wreck the game........and time will be its ending if this takes hold !!!!
Steps I feel must be taken to protect ALL who Fly The Sky...

I think we should create this association and stop the ones that, like Bluewings, charge $0 for some tickets.

Yes this is one area that ruins the game not least upsets many others who log-in every day and have to sit there for hours trying to get a route back into a profit.:cool:

What you are asking to do is remove realism away from the game.

OK, I don't know in Europe, but in South America the only country that has an open sky policy (i think that's the name for it) is Chile, the other nation's skies are regulated by the goverment meaning that if the airline wants to go local on a particular country it has to be a national airline. This is made to prevent major airlines to depredate local markets and this taking away people's jobs.
Since I have an ariline in South America I think it is unfair that foreigns airlines "invade" my routes with wide bodies simply trying to destruct the competition. That's NOT real, that's NOT what is going on in this part of the world.
And I know that all this is the consecuences of being too many airlines considering the airports are just too few. In Argentina, for example, you just can't go local... because the only two airports are one next to another. The only South American country in witch you can go local is Brazil, and it's invaded by american and european airlines (that is completely illegal in real life).
Anyways... that is just for letting everybody knows that you simply CAN'T manage an airline in south america with that kind of competition.

Of course there are exeptions but that is another subjet that is not related to this thread.

In this case the first afirmation would be reallistic (we live in a capitalist world, that's why we are speaking of offer and demand) but the second one not quite as well.
I know that miller wants to make things simple, but some times business are NOT simple and I think this is the case.
PS: Another solution would be calling the world "USA" and just go local, don't you think?

It is supposed to be a business simulator, not a game. And even if it is a game, why not making it fair for those who don't want to start in USA or Europe? I mean... if the intention of the game is to reflect the economy of an airline... well... i think there are regulations everywhere and there is no airline absolutely free to do whatever the CEO wants.
Anyways I am aware that what I'm asking only benefits a few and that there is nothing planned regarding this issue, I just wanted to state that it's unfair.
Cheers!

Politics makes airports international / domestic, game has all international.
Politics makes flight paths longer because we have to fly around certain things (like flights out of Israel cannot fly over Saudi Arabia, and flights out of USA cannot fly over Cuba), game allows straight line distance flight path to be used.
I vote keep the game free, and tolerate the non-real issues.

Just put yourself in my position... would you like to play a game that only benefits a part of the world?
This is not just complaining about something I would like miller to put in the game, I think that at least the most basic rules must be mantained in order to make it at least a little bit alike reality... I insist that everything that is going on in South America at this moment is the opposite of what's going on in real life.
I'm glad that you're doing well in the game, chicken, but we are not all american, you know?
Anyways... I'm going to hold on until rubber chicken transport and company takes all my routes and I can make no profit and then I'll just quit (I'm thinking of Aerolineas Argentinas, LAN, Varig, TAM and others at this moment).
Thanx anyways... I still think it would be a great game!

OK, then simply change "simulator" for "game" and fly only in the nothern emisphere because it makes no sense flying in south america if the only real thing is the airport name and location....
Fair comment, not just South America, but also lots of Asia and Africa, and even Canada. But from what I have gathered, the game started out as a USA only game, and grew.
The game will be awesome when Miller adds all airports that have more than 100000 passengers per annum. Think about Recife-Rio Branco non-stop!

You still don't get it. This is not an airline simulation or even a simulation of real life airlines. This is a business simulation. There are no borders and the skies are open. You can fly wherever you want as long as you can pay for gates. If you can't compete in South America then you can choose a different area to operate out of or you could give up.
