Vote noted, rkkwan.

I'm dressed and ready to go...while the female unit is not. :rolleyes: The bride is supposed to be late, not the guests.

You're playing the Soviet world and still think Asia sucks? I figured there would be tons more options that would make building an Asian network easier in a full-map world.

I know! We saw the trailer for this the other day online, and immediately put it at the top of our Netflix queue. Should be arriving next week, provided we watch something this weekend and return it.

The Beech 1900 is too small. I really think we need at least a 30 seat plane to start with.

I posted this before seeing the actual choices.

Based on those choices, ATR-42.

Less than two hours until Aéro Exaltado Proletariado receives its second plane, followed by an expansion of service within Cuba as well as new destinations in the Caribbean and Central America.

To your other points, it comes with experience. I can tell if a route is worthwhile by using the Research Route utility now, and I'm wrong maybe two routes out of ten. If there's competition it tells you how many seats are on the city pair, and it's an inference as to whether or not the aircraft you have in mind to service that route will be overkill or not.

But when there is not competition then all you see is the route distance. Or are you using a different Research Route function than I am? Sure, between the distance and the number of passengers at either end I can make a guess as to whether a route is going to be profitable - they essentially all are when it is just me hanging out flying small planes between Hanoi and China. But how am I supposed to know that HAN-SIN will drive more revenue than HAN-HKG, even though the latter has 10MM more people passing through daily. In the real world some marketing would be performed the investment of 300K to simply guess at what the returns are going to be.

I will wait until after the weekend to see if they post then.

FYI, the DEQMs for my flights on 5/11 dropped in last night.

No, Asia doesn't suck in the Soviet world. Red China in 1981 is very lucrative for me. :p

I was just commenting on AM1.0. But I think by now I know what to do in AM2.0. :D

At EWR, boarding CO 50 to FRA. This is real. And kind of surreal...

Thursdays flight hasn't cleared yet, so i expect that it will early next week and then at the end of the week my doubles will all post.

Wirelessly posted (BlackBerry8830/4.2.2 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 VendorID/105)

Just lit the grill. Have pineapple and onion to grill as part of a chunky salsa for a sea bass sitting on the counter and soon to be sitting on the grill as well. Full glass of vodka and 75 degree blue skies.

Life is good. :D
