AM's geopolitical statement?

Possibly, I am going there after a few more jets come in. No doubt. I like the small markets, I am not going for #1 position, I am going for most coverage.

Oh you mean 30 million, I haven't found much less than 36m of any value in my two games, except the CRJ100ER its good at about 18.6 I can turn 600k or so with it a day. The CRJ100LR gives you near transcon range for a million more.

I ended up buying 3 of the starter-type planes, whatever the heck those things are. I'm way behind everyone else on pax.

Not sure. I am going to order a few 73G's tomorrow with a range of 3900 miles for transcons and tatl's.

I am not using them for transcon, thankfully. I have a nicer Avro my friend! And An MD-87 in a couple hours.

They seem to be. Right now, they are the workhorse of my fleet.

I think i'm doing pretty good considering the world isn't very populated yet. I'm kinda small, but my financials work out to be like 6mil a route while the top grossing players are like 2mil a route for their total value.

When I was traveling back & forth b/w GRU & EWR (when I was residing in SP) -- I was loaded to the gills w/everything you can imagine. At customs at GRU -- the agents would just laugh & say it's another American mom hauling back stuff for her kids! I did all the gift shopping, food shopping -- you name it -- & hauled it back w/me. Stuff you couldn't get in SP or would cost 4x or more the cost (like a barbie doll you could find for $3 here would be like $25 there!). I needed tons of b'day gifts as my kids were going to b'day parties non-stop down there & the Brasilians all want 'importados' -- which I was not going to spend the $ for down there!
