How do you cash in Credits?

I know the feeling, I really do...  I started late, and had no idea what I was doing.  Didn't realize the very first plane I leased needed a D check.     And my first few posts on here were about "problems" I was seeing in the scheduling and financials and such.
But, after 3 BKs (Bankruptcies, not Burger Kings ), on the 4th try, I found my "sweet spot." 
I'm flying from a non-traditional airport (St. Pete/Clearwater, FL), with 757s and 767s, running at a decent profit, managing my own staffing, and it's been a blast.  But it helped that I took the info that was HERE in the forums, and put it to use in the sim. 
Keep at it...  You'll be right!   

Yep, I hear ya!
My biggest frustration is that I had some big success at the beginning of game 3... and really want to get back there.

About starting later in a game, then I disagree.

I started my airline in 2000, today 4 years later I am nr. 15 on the list of income the last 4 weeks.
There were 2 airlines in the same airport as me, but both started from the beginning. Today, I am the biggest airline in my airport, with 31%+ of all the passengers and still growing.

I am having 500mil in my bank, I never took a loan, I never had any troubles and I had income from day one.

I started out competing the bigger airlines, and slowly offered better prices and took over most of the market on the same routes as them.

What I notice many new players are doing, is that they invest in all new planes, (which are really expensive), and that most people start out with really huge planes, which they will never be able to fill up or have income on because of too high lease and too few reputation/pax demand.

I started with a small plane, and when I growed bigger I sold it and invested in smaller domestic planes and then when I had a stable income, then I opened up for routes overseas.

Note: I am placed in Malpensa Airport in Milano in game 2.

I've yet to succeed in running an airline to the ground, I've operated an all propeller fleet on short haul routes out of Edinburough, operated an all 737 fleet out of Edinburough to short and medium haul European markets, both these airlines ran with little competition and were very successful, I've dabbed at more challenging scenarios, starting a Toronto based airline late in a game where there was heavy competition and did the same with a US domestic airline. I have some real life airline management experience, but if you cover all your bases, making money in Airwaysim is really not that difficult.

Trust me on this, you will not find a more detailed and realisitic simulation on the market, Airwaysim is completely unmatched. The next best aviation management simulation would be Airline 6 but it does not play online and it is much less enjoyable than Airwaysim in many aspects; lack of competition, challenge, realism (in both the financial and operational aspects) and interface to name a few. Take it from someone who has spent countless hours on every aviation management sim out there, if you are going to be playing a game of this genre, I guarantee AirwaySim is the highest quality simulation you will find.
