Just to add to the Ryanair discussion: A pilot was recently fired for criticizing the safety policy of the airline. Pilots are being told to fly with too little reserve fuel, and he was threatened to lose his job in a letter from Ryanair telling him that he tanked too much fuel. Link

Thanks a lot!

I am in Africa right now (Rwanda), and I think the PAX numbers do need a slight boost. For example, Kigali is currently flown to from Brusels and Amsterdam about 5x weekly (from each) by A330s. I'm aware that a majority of these pax are connecting from all over the place, but since connecting pax aren't being simulated very accurately, I think pax numbers should be slightly increased. When AE4 comes with better connecting pax, then they can be reduced again.

Berlin, Germany

For me, the most awesome place in Europe has to be Berlin. Even though there are some downsides of life in Berlin (half-finished airport, unfriendly people, only 22 (!) hours of sun in an entire month, ...) I still think there are quite a few great things about it: First of all, it's a big city, but not so big that it's completely overwhelming. Also, we have a pretty efficient and affordable public transport system (even thoguh it's slowly reaching it's limits in some parts). Lastly, Berlin is great because of it's location right bang in the middle of Europe, making it really easy to fly/drive to all over the place.
