Automatic hireing stuff

[Flightman]

I have noticed that automatic hireing system if used takes again around ~106 -108 %

Am I right? In last games it was 100% eaven if u used automatic hiering system all as temporary fix?

Yes. It's a "premium" you pay for the "service" of not having to push the "Set all staff levels to 100%" button after getting new aircraft. This is such a stupid feature that I would stop playing the game if it wasn't so darn addictive.

It is annoying but I turned it off and just do it manually.

I used to think that the model used for the # of employees was way out of whack, but I checked on the three biggest airlines (they avg around 78-83 people per plane) and AWS is almost right on.

Imagine if Sami put unions in the simulation!

Talawa,

All AWS airlines ARE unionized

Drive your staff morale low enough, and you WILL have a strike.

I believe you, and they are sensitive too! Forgot to hire ( 5min time span) for one extra plane and it upset everyone.

I always have 106% - 108% which is sometimes annoying when i look at how many people are needed and how many I have got, I sometimes have 30 more people  (Talk about bankruptcy). But the strangest thing is that it says in my delays that I have a lack of staff!! What??!! 

[maxishrek]

Absolutely annoying thing! Don't understand any logical reason for that...

Just a thought on this topic - Sami, does it work the other way? I mean does having more people in marketing i.e. give you a boost in marketing, ramp guys smaller chance to have a delay etc.? I mean is it worth sometimes to hire more than needed amount of people or is it really just a waste and a penalty for that you don't need to take care about it?

Thx for answer!

look at your marketing effectiveness.  It is sometimes over 100%

I think it's better to have a bit overstaffing than to have under 100%. Just look around in the forums, you'll see someone who lost a lot putting auto off.
