How to report airline breaking rules?

[Justindube]

Hello,

I have recently created my airline based out of YYZ, and all of my jet routes have been the target of anti-competitive tactics by the established airline. Is there any way to report this? No matter where I try to expand, the market dynamics change the second after I establish a route.

Thanks

You may need to post on this thread what you believe is an example of anti-competitive tactics, so that other players can give you feedback.

The reason I say the above is that more often than not, posts of this nature from newer players is not actually anti-competitive behaviour but is simply the other player planning and scheduling his own routes to suit his own gameplay.
There are no monopolies on routes in this game, so it is not uncommon for another player (or players) to schedule the same routes as you do, as long as they stay within the route seat capacity they provide on that route as stated in the game rules.

I'd suggest that, if anyone thinks they are receiving unfair tactics, then it is YOUR OWN responsibility to create log of each and every move you make in a certain time period that shows evidence of a definite pattern:
* Which Game World
* Your Airline / Competitor Airline
* Time
* Date
* Route
* Coverage of route Before and After details
. . . for every route that you lay down - then add a full same details when you see the competitor doing so, so that a comprehensive picture is able to be shown whether or not your routes are indeed being tracked and targeted like you think. That would give Sami a basis to decide whether or not it looks like he needs to start spending time to begin investigating for you. It's no good just calling out foul-play without that detail, and expecting Sami to then go and perform a "research project" with bit by bit examination of everything for every case.

I suspect Sami, who will have the date/time a route was created, will have SQL scripts to build a picture of 2 airlines movements along a timeline, and quickly spot naughtiness.

Probably right there Simon, but if he had to go and do the analysis for every person who cries out - that starts an airline at a base where another airline is already several hundred planes strong, and is still in the middle of building his airline there.... I've had this chucked at me in the past with no proper evidence from the complainant, luckily Sami could see I was simply in the middle of building out my airline and every now and then as I developed a route... that happened to be amongst the 5 or 6 routes that the new guy was starting on. He found that in several cases actually I placed my route down just before the other guy too.  So just saying....   BUILD EVIDENCE before casting aspersions !
