Discussion about expanding too fast
Hugamuga:
after every airline died in Australia me and a load of other airlines started up, but i decided to expand really quickly, using just the 737-400 i got to about 50 planes in under a year until i had all the potential used up... it worked pretty well for me, as far as i see it expand as fast as you can as long as there is enough potential, and you stick to one fleet type

I think my angle hasn't been very well covered in this thread.
From what I've found, there's nothing bad about expanding too quickly in this game if you do it well and are patient with the decisions that you make. Keeping your fleet simple, not paying a stupid amount for your planes and don't pick a fight with a big airline until you're able to do proper battle with them.
Expanding too fast will cause a collection of poor but not lethal choices snowball into a tidal wave of red ink that sinks your airline in a manner that could be classified as "expanding too fast". The prepaid leasing effect gives the less experienced players the impression that they are making money rather than losing money, so they continue to make the same bad decisions over and over until it catches up to them.

It is not really how fact you expand as to how you do it. In MT I was able to grow to over 100 MD-80's in less than a year. If you have the right plane and know how to make money they sky is the limit as to how fast you can expand.

To me the art of death by rapid expansion is expanding without a solid foundation.
That could be based on a number of variables.
Ask yourself, if after 4-5 aircraft (s) of expanding in a new game, if your competition floods your best route... could you still expand with the same pace your were just at? If yes, then your choosing the correct set of variables to maximize your expansion.
If however you say no, then your not choosing the correct variables and your growth is mainly sustained by not paying monthly leases and little/ no competition.
Guess I'm more tactical about expansion :laugh:
