In the 3rd week of 1993, my airline Arabian Kiss surpassed the 100k pax border which is a first ever for me. I feel like im rolling with the big boys (when in actual fact I'm rolling around at their feet :laugh: )
This is a big milestone for me and I am keen to know what all the experienced player's own personal milestones, goals or achievements were and what any newcomers or so far unsuccessful players (like I was) yearn to achieve.
So much for a friendly, light hearted AWS community discussion. :(

hurrah, I finally achieved my ambition of upsetting some-one by
not posting in their thread... :)
uh... damn, just blew it.... :-[
About a year ago at the beginning of a game world. I was the dominant Player in ORD with about 60 planes. Then I ran out of Time due to my work and ceized operations. I also introduced the Cloud 9 Alliance which is now highly successful. However I have no Connection to Cloud9 anymore.
Owning and flying 200 A320-200 is a milestone I want to achieve in every GW. A profitable and fairly easy one usually.
being the world's laziest airline. started in 1975 and still rockin it with my 6 aircraft fleet.
The perils of posting on a weekend which concludes the winter holidays is not always the most highly trafficked time around here.
Either way, well played on your accomplishment. You've cone a long way since a few game worlds ago
Profitably flying a large Concorde fleet.
For me it's being the first non-aligned (i.e. outside any alliance) airline by # of pax transported, airline value, # of airports served – as these are basically the only 3 stats I seek to improve [MT9].
Fly to 500 destinations at least 6 times a week without using seat blocking

Same here swifty... but I don't even have time to read all, as I used to ;(
One of my milestones was reached in DotM 2 or 3 (so quite a while ago) having a fleet of 650 a/c with only 2 fleets. 360ish 744 (of which ~100 didn't even fly due to no available slots) and 300ish 734 for SH. AFAIK the 360 B744 record has not yet been broken by anyone else in any game. Perhaps the long GWs will see a change to that.
Another was to operate 21 CONC at a profit in C/F-config only using HD seating (LOL!!) flying them from LHR to east Asia with a tech-stop.
And my newest one is just due achieving... finally playing a MT scenario to the end without BKing. Never managed to succeed in one for real.
cheers,

I owned/operated over 100 A380s out of ATL in MT a long time ago...should be up there with your B744 record :)

Getting that many 744 is one part of the achievement, but the other part is, that despite one third (1/3) was NOT flying and I was still remaining profitable. I can't remember how many were leased and how many owned though...
Also - where were you based? Doing it from the US is definitely more impressive than from somewhere like LHR (I currently have some 230 741/2/3 flying from LHR with a company profit margin of 33% in JA)

LHR of course... where else can you use that many 744 without being frequency r@ped?
Too bad I don't have the time to monitor the slots at least 16hr/day anymore.... school was a great time, and they had WiFi ;D Now with work, I barely find the time to check my WhatsAPP LOL
Granted it's only in the beginner world, but I am the #1 airline in Russia and not about to BK.
