Announcements - The Age of Flight / FlightClub Stands Firm Behind ...
Last post by AngryOpossum - August 30, 2025, 06:05:31 PMRecent media attention surrounding FlightClub's executive compensation policies, operational rankings, and business practices has been noted. While we acknowledge the right of the press to ask questions, we also remind all parties that curiosity, when misdirected, can lead to consequences.
Yes, it is a matter of public record that our CEO, Peter "The Elbow" Braun, is paid a very high salary and currently ranks as the 45th wealthiest airline executive in the world. Yes, it is also a matter of record that FlightClub ranks 105th in profit, 118th in passengers transported, 166th in age, and 221st in departure punctuality. We recognize that some journalists see tension in these figures. We do not.
Mr. Braun has steered FlightClub through economic uncertainty, regulatory confusion, and more than one incident involving a goat on the runway. While certain members of the press have pointed out — somewhat breathlessly — that many of these difficulties were the result of Mr. Braun's own strategic choices, we see this not as a contradiction but as confirmation of his unique leadership. It takes rare talent to create a storm and then fly straight through it. He has led with vision, daring, and what some have described as an "unwillingness to explain himself." This is not a flaw. It is a management style. We reward that. Generously.
In recent weeks, several outlets have questioned whether FlightClub's prior-year financial losses were, quote, "entirely necessary." Others have revisited the quiet closure of our cargo division, asking whether its "disappearance" warrants further scrutiny. We find these questions unproductive, uninformed, and frankly beneath the standards of responsible journalism, and we strongly recommend they remain unanswered.
Our passengers know what they're signing up for: direct routes (sometimes very direct), minimal cabin crew (zero, to be precise), and a boarding process that favors assertiveness over bureaucracy. While the press concerns itself with "profitability" and "passenger volume," we focus on what truly matters: agility, instinct, and the rugged efficiency of a company that files fewer flight plans than it does insurance claims.
FlightClub remains committed to its course: unpredictable, unregulated, and uninterested in outside interference. We advise members of the press to observe from a safe distance. In our experience, those who press too hard often experience sudden turbulence. Flight plans change, manifests are revised, and not everyone who boards is guaranteed to land.

https://aircraft.airbus.com/en/aircraft/a350/a350-1000 => the A350-1000 is now given for 9000nm
Quote from: Dienis on September 01, 2024, 04:54:31 PMIt is not only the pax capacity but also MTOW, MZFW, OEW and range that are off with the A350:
A350-900:
- MTOW : 283t
- MZFW : 195.7t
- OEW : ~135t
- design range : 8300nm
- max fuel 166488l
That gives it a max payload around 61t
A350-1000:
- MTOW : 322t
- MZFW : 223t
- OEW : ~147t
- design range : 8900nm
- max fuel : 164000l
That gives it a max payload around 76t

Game talk - Airline Generations / Re: Change the salary rules in...
Last post by Molinote - August 29, 2025, 04:07:21 PMMy airline is in a single country so this rule will not benefit me. But it will benefit those that have airlines in multiple countries which is an advantage they didn't start the game with. Why change a rule like this mid-game? It would be different if it was a rule that affected everyone equally, like the fleet commonality rule.

CEO Buteo states: "We will focus our long and medium distance flights on underserved Markets in Asia, Oceania, Europe and the Middle East, the A310-300 gives us a great compromise between range. payload and price"
With the new Subfleet Manila Wings also introduces it's new Business Class called "President Class", it offers improved seat Quality, Lounge Access and additional inflight Service.
The First Routes of the A310-300 will see it Fly to Cairns, introducing the first ever direct Connection between the Philipines and Queensland, and adding additional Capacity to the Manila-Mactan flights.
