I am in debt so i am running this poll
Your in debt because you have a small old aircraft and you are trying to fly routes that major airlines like myself have the majority of the market share on lock down!
I'm not in debt in fact i soon have $500 million in cash and not sure what to do with it all. ;D
Give some to me
Mmm.. Ive dropped in value to #3 @ 3.15 Billion. Going through a couple of C checks :-[
You should ask the #1 airline, he has 6 Billion+ ;)
Talentz
well, i had $800,000,000 then decided to go on a shopping spree so now i have $300,000,000
Lend planes to me
I spent a good chunk of one of the beta games in debt to some degree. I also owned most of my planes, and had a very high airline value despite said debt, and tended to dwell somewhere in the top 30 out of a field of 200, despite having staked out somewhat marginal territory.
Going into debt at the right time for the right reasons is hardly a bad thing.
Can someone give me sum tips on how to keep people going on my planes because people keep stopping going with me

but i dont have any money :-[
i started without a fregat
I'm about 90 million in debt right now. A space in the new gen 737 production line opened up 3 years ahead of schedule so I took out a 130million and bought 6 and leased another 6. There are situations where you have to act quickly and it's OK to have a lot of debt.
Gon bk 3 times !!!
Got 17 mil in debt at one time
1.4 billion in debt now and i couldn't be happier. 3 million a week in interest is nothing compared to the benefits of aggressively expanding and upgrading my fleet.

just gone bk and started agen ;D ;D ;D
Hmmm Darthluke, there seems to be a pattern emerging of going bankrupt! ;) I have to say I have done the same a number of times, but am starting to find some of the tips on here very useful, like not buying planes that are too old, and manually managing your staff levels keeping the 'operational' staff like pilots etc at 105% and the office staff remaing at 100% levels, it can be a bit of a pain as every time you bring a new plane onto a route, you also have to adjust the staff levels, but its all good fun!!!! I hope you do well with your new airline too! :)
Currently I have over $6billion debt, struglling to survice till the last..
Nice topic ;D I'm currently (20 days after start flying) only 9 555 USD in debit, but I didn't take any loan :) Flying regional routes in Europe with de Havilland DH.114... i already ordered new Boeing 707-320C (leased too) which will arrive 2 monhts and 24 days and will be operating on my first long-haul route.. well, i hope I came to black numbers..
i have 3million
