Multiple bases vs. multi-leg routes

[T8KE0FF]

some time in the future.

Do you know when? Weeks, Months, Years? Tell us 

[Jona L.]

I have another suggestion:

why not allow one more base in the same continent (or in a range distance) and allow to base one aircraft there per 10 operated planes from the main base?!!!
btw. Voted YES!!

[DutchBlond]

No.
It will lead to dominance by the strongest airlines, most experienced players, & you will lose many smaller  airlines or other players happy dealing with a small but successful airline in a region, but if the big guys come in it will be lost for them.

It also will LOSE revenue for the game itself, as people will simply quit if they dont get a fair play & chance.
Whilst it is a game not the real world, participating n gaining the enthusiasm of many people worldwide, is what yr working for, hence we all have to be happy with some participation, not total dominance.

It may well be good to be able to add a 2nd fuel only stop to broaden the range of aircraft & routes though...

I would've voted YES, but it's already closed. BUT ONLY if you're only able to fly second legs on domestic routes or international routes from another airport in your own country. I also think that you should be able to select second HUB's only in airports in the country of your main HUB.

I totaly agree

I read this only now, but I have an weird idea.

Generally, any airline should not be allowed to use any more than 75% of slots in any airport. And multi-leg routes should never be allowed.

If an airline has multiple hubs, total number of used slots in all hubs should not exceed 75% of slot amount in main hub. Percentage could also be bigger, but 75 sounds good for me.

or.........

your second hub can't have any planes that can carry more than 110 pax.  You get one large use airport and one small one.

[JonesyUK]

How about limiting the number of certain sized hubs yo can have?

i.e Max of:

2 x size 4 & 5 +
3 x size 3 & 2 +
4 x size 2 & 1

I think the simpliest would be - you can have as many hubs you want but - each new will be much expensive (²), will increase your needed staff numbers by 20% and you can only have them in your country or specified exceptions (like Czech and Slovakia is allowed due to long historical bond or countries in the Yugoslavia will be conted together). This way everybody will soon reach their limit.

I vote for yes...multiple base should be allowed, at a substantial cost...

i.e. planes in different bases can not enjoy the commonality savings...
Open a second base should be costly and there should be more risks involved to justify the benefits...
