Although your username makes me weary to trust you, your experience and the quality of your current airlines means that I will hire you Lollingtroller, I now need your user name so I am able to give shared access to you . I assume you will adhere to the standards you set out when asking others to help with you airline in previous threads.  

Yes, but first Daily operating profit should be shown in the ranking lists

Ever been in a joint operated airline in AE. If so how did it go and would you do it again??

Im in the pacific time zone

Ok - I see your only existing airline has no fleet or destinations, a $-35,000,000 valuation i.e $35,000,000 of debt so I am skeptical of you not bankrupting emirates therefore I will not be hiring you as COO

Any new applications are still up for consideration no COO has been hired yet 

Emirates Airline - Rank 1- (at time of writing), World S3-A is looking for a Chief Operations Officer (COO) to be responsible for aircraft route assignments from our key destinations of Dubai (DXB), Abu Dhabi (AUH) and Sharjah (SHJ). This role includes choosing routes that will be successful from our key destinations leasing gates and deploying suitable aircraft to them with reference to demand, range, fuel consumption and seat capacity. At time of writing our fleet includes: B747-100s, B727-200Advs, Trident3Bs, A300B4s 737-100s, Tu-154s, Dc10-10-40s and Il-18Ds all of which have ongoing deliveries which require deployments. Additionally on these routes the COO will be responsible for ensuring that ticket prices are at the maximum price where all classes have 100% capacity to ensure maximum profitability

Fleet selection and orders along with IFE, IFS and Cabin configuration will continue to be managed by the CEO therefore the applicant will have no responsibility for these areas of Emirates although they may become available for an applicant that has shown competency. The CEO may assist the COO with fleet deployments that have not been allocated at time of logging in. 

Applicants should apply by replying to this thread with why they would be good for the job, their top airline name and ranking along with their timezone and time available for Emirates airline so the CEO (NZDT time-zone) and COO are on at different times allowing all aircraft to be flying ASAP after delivery.  

Although AUS/NZ carriers can fly internationally from each country in the real world, I personally believe that it would be a bad idea to implement these rights in the realistic game worlds on the basis that if someone wanted to run a purely New Zealand airline, It would become quite difficult to make money on international routes such as AKL-LAX where demand is only at about 220 each way if an Australian airline decided to fly routes like this also.

 

Furthermore, most Australian airlines in AE usually expand into the NZ domestic market where demand is already too small for NZ airlines to generate sufficient revenue and profits to compete with the AUS carriers, therfore I think it's best and fairest if AUS/NZ carriers have their own international markets to themselves.

I'd argue to the contrary - I recently played a game as a NZ airline, where there were two dominant Aussie airlines - with gaps in Australia which I could fly e.g ADL-OOL. I was running out of destinations from NZ as there is 1.5 proper international airports AKL(1) CHC(0.5 - Max 2x frequencies on any routes larger than short haul) WLG (not a long enough rwy). There were little to no med-long haul flights from secondary Aussie airports e.g ADL, CNS, OOL - all of which are around the same size as AKL which I would have loved to fly and would have been very profitable.

In this case the proper NZ-AUS OSA would have been very beneficial to my NZ airline as it would be to any NZ airline looking to expand past AKL

I pretty sure this is not true. I am running Qantas in R5 and I cant.

In the game it is not correct but in real life the actual NZ-AUS OSA does allow this. For instance NZ has operated SYD-LAX and QF AKL-LAX.  I started this thread so the game could be changed to make it more realistic

In AE the NZ-AUS open skies agreement (OSA) is simulated similar to the Eu OSA i.e airlines may fly domestically within countries that are part of the agreement but not provide international service to countries outside the OSA from non-home countries e.g AF may fly FRA-AMS or FRA-MUC but not FRA-JFK.

However in reality the NZ-AUS OSA allows domestic and international operations for all airlines from all NZ-AUS cities e.g QF may fly AKL-LAX and NZ may fly BNE-DPS.  

Is this something that could be changed in AE to become more realistic?

Thank you - NSN Flyer
