Announcements - The Modern Times / Unified Bids Farewell to the W...
Last post by adamblang - September 23, 2025, 01:37:07 PMChicago, IL — December 2008 — Unified Airlines today celebrated the end of an era with the retirement of its final Boeing 737-200Adv aircraft. These "original workhorses" formed the backbone of Unified's early growth, at one point numbering more than 100 strong and connecting communities across the nation. "The -200Adv is the aircraft upon which this airline was built," said Unified's CEO. "They carried us through boom times, bust times, and more weather diversions than we care to remember."
The 737-200Adv fleet is being replaced by a new generation of aircraft — modern, fuel-efficient, and much quieter McDonnell Douglas MD-90s and Airbus A320 family jets. These aircraft will offer customers a more comfortable ride, lower operating costs, and a smaller environmental footprint. Unified noted that the transition will save millions of gallons of fuel annually, while also keeping the neighbors around major hubs a little happier.
To mark the retirement, Unified operated a special farewell flight featuring a classic livery and commemorative boarding passes for passengers. "This is a bittersweet moment," the CEO added. "We're saying goodbye to an aircraft that defined who we were — but we're excited about the fleet that will define who we are becoming."

Last post by All_Seeing_Eye - September 23, 2025, 12:34:01 PMJust a suggestion, but any chance some of the Beginner's World games could start with a time frame in the 1990s, so we can have B727s/L-1011s etc?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Last post by Karl - September 22, 2025, 08:47:10 PMI wonder.
Every time I open the program, there are usually a number of messages about bankruptcies and bank shutdowns.
What does this say about playability?
What does this say about "realism"?
I wonder.

Last post by Grahame Air - September 22, 2025, 04:47:36 PMMaybe if similair scinarios ran close together the newer/less experienced players would switch to the second game. The more experienced guys may not bother.
Starting a new Modern Times now, might encourge those who have tried and failed to stay with the game

Last post by coopdogyo - September 22, 2025, 02:38:59 PMwrt to maintenance it would be super cool if you received a benefit for spreading your checks out over the course of a week and a day. So you needed less staff if you had a regular cadence of checks vs doing them all between 0-05 on Sunday.

Announcements - The Modern Times / Unified Thanks President Bush,...
Last post by adamblang - September 21, 2025, 11:25:26 PMChicago, IL — September 2008 — Unified Airlines today extended its heartfelt thanks to President George W. Bush for his decisive action in Ariana, noting that jet fuel prices have "finally started acting like they were in 2004 — which is to say, slightly less catastrophic." Unified praised the operation as "a real win for the American traveler, the aviation industry, and anyone who enjoys $199 weekend fares."
In a move sure to raise eyebrows — and maybe oil prices before lowering them — Unified's statement urged the administration to "keep the momentum going" by considering a few well-aimed cruise missiles at any other oil-rich country of your choosing. "We're not picky," said the airline's Chief Fuel Strategist. "One more 'Mission Accomplished' banner and we might even be able to bring back free snacks."
Unified concluded with a promise to celebrate the next intervention with a special one-day sale called the "Shock & Aw, Look at These Low Fares" event. "History may judge," the release stated, "but our CASM sure won't."
