FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

Take the world's assigned aircraft to start and build a shorthaul network that goes almost everywhere within 500 miles. Then take your most profitable routes and switch them to larger aircraft that you're leasing. Sell the disused smaller a/c. Repeat cycle until you're ordering Boeings in double digits per order...I think when my last world stopped I had 25 727's, 18 737's, and a few DC-8's.

Definitely after the Open if the plan is stick to Bethpage State Park. I'm thinking maybe as long as late August to mid-September.

I should be good by then. We'll be in Scotland late Aug/early Sept. and then over to St. Malo for that DO. Mid Sept. should work though.

There's a good argument to be made for dropping that long of a flight with so few seats. Buy cheaper gates at TX/Midwest/Mexican crapholes and have it make shorter more frequent runs and you might see your capital grow faster.

I should have explained a little better. The only reason I am running the smaller planes to LAX is because I have filled up all of my TX slots and still have hours on the planes and since LAX is my only out of TX destination right now, I figured "why not?".

If AM would let me do point-to-point I would add LAS to my LAX-IAH route and could run smaller planes just between them and really make a killing.

I was going to start us a Private World but it would require 268 of their stupid tokens.

And... we're done with that. I just made a Grey Goose, slightly dirty, with 3 bleu cheese-stuffed olives.

Y'all are a bad influence. That's why I love ya ;)

I have many, many hundreds of tokens for AM. If we can agree on rules, I'll donate.
