Airlines dwindling
ekaneti:
Well two weeks in and the number or airlines has dropped by more than 20. In the last couple of days nearly 10 airlines dropped out
oggie84:
Some people have left because it was actually an easy game in a way. Take me for example. I made profit from day one. Then before i decided to quit i had 60 aircraft - 30 of them sat around doing nothing yet i was still making healthy profits and was about 4th in airline value. I'd already pretty much exhausted all my routes so it became unexciting for me and i felt there was no challenge at all, even though it was a supposedly 'hard' game. A few other people i'd spoke to said the same things.

well, the game is 'hard' because there's not enough room for all players to expand. if you chose a smaller airport without competition it's your own 'fault'... try a major hub in the states and you'll get your rear end handed to you pretty quickly.
Sigma:
Of course the game's gonna be easy if you fly out an airport about 2000 miles away from just about everyone else to a network of airports no one else is serving. And even easier if you quit before fuel spikes.
Right now there's only about a dozen airlines in the entire game even turning an appreciable profit and that number is falling fast as fuel prices continue to rise. Every route on the first 4 pages of routes out of my home airport has got 200-400% of demand met, the only routes you can hope to fly on that don't have 200% of demand already on them are those with less than 80 demand per day, and those should all be gone within the next couple days.
Props to SSV for utterly whooping it though.

I am soon to be out of the game. 85% load factors and I still cant turn a profit.
