I have this set of nature themed airlines that I’ve been playing/imagining that operate across environmental regions not countries or cities.

Never requested artwork before but I’m curious to see what people come up with & are interested in - not to mention testing out my punny names. Would be honored to have anyone take a crack at any of the below airlines for logo and/or livery. All artistic choices are yours - I’ll just be happy to not scrounge around for clip art anymore.

Group name is GAIA: Group of Atmospheric International Airlines:

Rarefied Air (Mountains)
EstruAir (Rivers & Lakes)

I recently discovered this little magazine/booklet with lots of detailed operations info - imo everything about it is great. Does anyone know of other things like this from other airlines? I know most of the big ones have some info within their larger magazines, but I'd love to find more examples of complete airline info packages (that aren't just a set of web pages.)

I've finally figured out how to get up and running with an airline in this world for the first time, but I'm curious what people's strategy is with bonds here. I immediately took out as many as possible since my credit rating doesn't affect my ability to purchase aircraft, and I immediately started new ones as soon as one was repaid. But now I'm starting to think the monthly costs are not worth it. For each plane I order I get at least a dozen bond default warnings before finally having the cash to receive the plane. I've crossed $3m DOP so I'm thinking it'll be ok to take of the training wheels so to speak. Thoughts?

I've noticed that my on time performance rating has been static whether I'm giving a plane its first route or using up remainder of multiple plane's availability. I looked up past posts and saw that utilization and employees are the factors, but my highest employee attrition rate is .03% (every emoji is dancing lol).

I opened one route using the last bits of two plane's availability, then opened another using just part of a new plane's 140 hours, but ontime performance rating is the same for both routes, reading the bar at the bottom of the route research page.

Are there other factors at play? I am not getting a congestion penalty at the airports, though one has 45 gates in a terminal. Would I need to be consistently not hitting 140 hours in my entire fleet? In other words is it being assumed that if I am over-using planes across a large fleet (over 1,000 planes) that the delays from that affect every route, no matter the specific breakdown of planes used?

I've noticed on more than a few routes there is no image available for the little start & end map when you first look up the route. Usually its a low traffic route - I've never seen competition on it - or at least one airport is very obscure. Am I right in thinking this is because no one, or very few people, have ever flown the given route? I haven't run the same airlines consistently enough to say whether a route that didn't have a map gained one after regular use.
