There is an airline in Beginners world 7 that has a good business model and is well established but has hit financial difficulty. I have looked at the airline and think that the basis for a good airline is there but the ceo released a press release saying that they find it hard to turn a profit and that he planns on quitting in a few weeks. I think it would be a good idea to be able to invest in an airline with financial difficulty to help them along and maybe make some money for your airline aswell. There would have to be rules in place though:

The company should not be valued over $25 million.
You can only invest a set % in the airline related to it's company value eg. company value $5 million you cannot invest more than $10 million ie. 200% and if the airline has a negative value eg. $-1 million you can invest up to $15 million.
The benefits for the investing airline would be a share of future profits until the airline that was invested in buys them out plus 15% eg $10 million invested the airline would recieve a dividend of 10% of future profits untill the airline that was invested in pays them $11.5 million.

However if the airline goes bust anyway the airline that invested will loose all the money that they invested.

How can you tell that your business model is right, when you are facing bankrupt?

He has a good business model, operating mostly regional aircraft. He is making money but his problem is that he has too many fleet groups

So it´s no good business model after all.Clearing up your fleet needs time and money.Future income is always threatened by fuel spikes, random economy loss and sudden massive competition. Credits are already handed out by bank system. Transferring money to beginner airlines opens a floodgate for abuse between alliance and otherwise related players. This is AIRWAY SIM, not CREDIT TYCOON.
