So despite what my profile says, I'm a real old-timer having been around on and off since 2011 or so. We didn't have achievements back then but people like me nevertheless went out there not to win but to break every taboo of the early game.

Don't use Soviet planes? Survived DoTM3.
Don't use turboprops? Troxair builds five bases connecting EMB-120s to every airport in French Polynesia and neighboring islands.
Don't base in Africa? Royal Nigerian grows from a regional operation to flying L-1011s to Europe and joins a big alliance.

What's my point? When I make a ridiculous airline or one that otherwise goes way against conventional wisdom (not sure I've ever listened) I will typically spend a lot of time crafting creative press releases that are meant to amuse even the serious best of the best players. If I amused you for even half a second, click that like. If you are also trying something crazy and have a sense of humor about it, write that press release too so everyone who appreciates your crazy can get their likes in.

I miss seeing all the amusing press releases we used to get in Airline Announcements that were a big part of the role playing in this little MMO of ours. Don't just tell us about that new type you launched or new route you created, be a character, be ridiculous! Tell people how horrendous your 18 hour HD seat flight is while spinning it in a way that sounds good! Fly that Soviet long-haul jet and try to explain how a shot of vodka and a day old sandwich on stale bread is still better than first-class catering on your western competitor.

Create a persona for each of your airlines and have fun with it!
