Title: New feature - reserve your airline name
Post by: Sami on February 19, 2009, 12:06:06 AM
Thought that could post this as a separate thread too .. This has been in the to-do list for ages but quickly coded it now.

How about telling us what kind of months, real time or game. I know it might be obvious but someone can make a mistake.

The airlines may be defunct at the moment, but there were a couple of Pan Am:s after the "real" Pan Am just using the name and logo. I suppose someone owns the name even now, and we could have yet another incarnation.

Pan Am and TWA cant be used because there are other Pan Am stuff int the world as you said  and I dont think TWO can be used because AA merged with them... so I guess they own the copyright on it, if its expired than you should be able to use it.

Yes, after the reservation is made nobody can start a new airline with that name or rebrand with that name, except you.
