Sorry, I wasn't too clear. I was refering to marc saying airlines should not be able to fly 2nd legs within the EU, only their own country. There's got to be some sort of benefit of being a member ;)

I know they can, but they don't. They either don't or have a regional airline based outside of their country and those are tiny airlines, but you won't be flying British Airways mainline from Palma to Moscow nonstop. What I mean is that LCC's are the only ones that treat the whole EU as their country and 99.99% of airlines in AWS are not LCC's.

Yes, but if we want to why can't we? As you said, you wouldn't fly BA from Palma - Moscow, but that's because BA don't have a commercial reason to fly it, not because they can't :)

WorldLink is virtually ready now member-wise 8)  

Any ideas on where the world will be based yet?  

I was wondering if maybe something like just Europe and North America might be a good idea.  That way competition would be higher as players could take advantage of the base system to assist fellow alliance members by opening and closing bases when necessary.  Transatlantic routes would also allow long-haul aircraft to be used, rather than the restrictions on aircraft one continent worlds provide.

Singapore Airlines flew CPH-BRU-ATH-BAH-SIN with a 747-200 back in 1984, although I'm not sure if they were allowed passengers between the various destinations. They also did CPH-ZRH-ATH-DXB-CMB-SIN in 1981 with the same type of aircraft. I remember that one, because our flight arrived in Dubai shortly after the new terminal had opened, and in Singapore only a few days after Changi had opened. Waterfalls in a terminal? That left a lasting impression on me, especially compared to some of the boring terminals I've seen in Norway. Try flying to Kristiansand KRS from a non-schengen airport, and you are left standing on the apron outside a containerized passport control regardless of the weather... :-\

I was just wondering if there was any more information available about the world.  Aspects like HQ locations and alliance strategy will take few days to organise and the next worlds thread suggested it would be either this weekend or early next week.  

Even if we have just an idea of the continents involved and the possible era, we could get some preliminary things arranged.  Looking forward to it.

Cheers,

Dave :)

Well the group I am a part of has its 25 members set, but a question popped up on if a restricted pre-game forum area for members to talk shop before the start of the game could be setup?  I know we could just start a public thread, but then the rest of you would know how we plan on ruling the world. ;D

Yullover
