Sitting in the lounge for my last flight. Kind of sad really, but having only been home 1 day in the past two weeks it's time to go home.

Just paid $4.00 for a double espresso from a cafe in jfk t5. I feel violated.

Does anyone understand this AM rule:

Quote:

5. A maximum of TWO (2) n.5 frequency flights are allowed in a route.
5a. A route is defined as between a pair of airports.
5b. Violation of this rule would result in account suspension and possibly penalty.

That mean no more than two flights with a frequency greater than five on each route.

The wording is confusing because a route within the game is defined as a city pair + an airplane + frequency.

So, I have a route IAH-ABI served with a ATR 3x and I have the same city pair served with a B1900 4x a day.

n.5 is to add on .5 of a service....what it's saying is that no more than two carriers can ply the same route and market it in-game as a O/W.

Do we wanna play with or without business consequences like the real airlines?

I found out that I can edit people's bank balances. $500MM for everyone?

That makes more sense, thanks for the clarification.

^^^ Cautiously optimistic here, too.

I'm so glad I don't drink coffee. Avoiding things like that is a big :D for me.

Other than that, what do you think of T5? Head out to the end of the central pier for plane spotting yet?

:D - thx. If I get further in the process and/or accept the offer, I'll be seeking the advice and counsel of The Box...it's something different for me jobwise that would require input from users of hotel loyalty programs.

I'm fine with business consequences.

If we are going to give $500MM to everyone, we should probably make the airports list longer or it's going to be my five transcons vs. everyone else's.

Just received an email from CO about the World MasterCard. They're now offerring 40k miles with the first purchase! :eek: What's next, they throw in one of the new 739ERs?

Or ship #427 after all the damage that was caused at the DO. :rolleyes:

Maybe they'll start giving away Q400s since they aren't safe, but only for the winter when there is ice. They can wet lease them back in the spring and summer.

Don't forget that by buying four gates and paying a one-time fee of 60x the gate price you can open a hub anywhere. There's an allowance for two or three foreign hubs. That should eliminate the competition problem domestically.

Nifty. I just called and signed up. How can one complain? :)
