Read mine more carefully

Spamlines and LCC have nothing in common at all other then kinda the IFS cheat, but nothing to the extreme.  

The overwhelming majority of LCC's have 1 or 2 families of aircraft, nearly none run anything other then economy some maybe have increased leg room company or PE neither of which the game simulates.  Most Spamlines run everything they can get with 3 classes on all. 

You will generally see only 1 seat arrangement per aircraft type for an LCC.  Spamlines run whatever they had on the plane when it was bought used

The largest LCC has 707 aircraft all of the same family, with vast majority of them being less then 200 and many being less then 100.  Spamlines run thousands of planes.

Excuse me but almost nobody has voiced opposition to they idea - they simply deem it pointless. The one person that opposed it made the valid and insightful point that spamlines on AE liken to LCCs in the real world. One could argue that, ironically, having  both spamlines and realistic airlines on AE is a better and more realistic representation of the real world

As someone who stopped playing do to spamlines I would start playing again if a community policed realistic world was set up.  Make sure that it is known that it is a special world with unique rules, and punish those that refuse to follow them by suspending their account for the duration of the game.  I find it odd that spamline runners are so militant against even one world being set up.

Hong Kong had Cathay Pacific as its flag carrier ever since it was a British territory, so being a territory doesn't necessarily mean that place shouldn't have a flag carrier. Despite still being a U.S. commonwealth, Puerto Rico today has its own constitution as well as a unique form of government. Though Puerto Ricans can travel to the U.S. mainland without a passport or visa, they aren't considered to be American citizens. Also keep in mind that even though Puerto Rico considers both English and Spanish as official languages, the overwhelming majority of locals living on the island only speak Spanish.

They are US citizens; https://www.law.corn...ode/text/8/1402

British Laws are very diffrent then the US laws on this topic and on colonial relations as it has a flag carrier still, while US law prohibits the establishment of one.

PR has limited self governing rights and its own constitution (as does every state) but at the end of the day it officially an unincorporated territory of the US and could have its government removed at anytime via repealing the Puerto Rico Federal Relations Act of 1950.  The term commonwealth is a meaningless in US law (Massachusetts and Kentucky are also Commonwealths).

The US does not have any true "Flag Carrier" in any of its areas, so unless PR wants independence then it will not have one.  Seaborne has a PR territorial flag on the side and based there so that is as close as it will get.
