Hello AE community, i am IrishTheLucky, a new player.
Familiar with airline-management games, I have always dreamed of running an airline. But off to the main topic, I would love to start an airline here but not sure where to start. I would really appreciate it if someone could make me a very basic airline, and then give it to me, for me to learn the ropes. I love the factor of randomness, and would really appreciate it. Thanks Irish.

I think I have a tacho at home - Ill check for you tonight.
Dont have a seat though I do have a few other bits and pieces that arent new or showroom but could used. Let me know if you need anything specific.
Im in New Plymouth.
Cheers - JT

New airline in a new world:Make sure every plane is flying fully loaded and to maximum hours as soon as it is delivered. This is key above all else.Take out a couple of 5m bonds or 1 5m and 1 smaller bond to give funds to lease new planes. Do not take out too many bonds though or else your credit rating becomes so bad that you cannot lease more planes even when profitable.Lease multiple aircraft types from multiple families. Start with 3 families, and look to expand early. This will give much faster deliveries than leasing just a single family of planes.When ordering the first plane of a new plane family time delivery to the start of a month. This times in best with how maintenance is chargedCheck how much cash is needed for bonds, staff, gates etc and when these are due. Any excess cash should be spent on new leases, but bonds etc do need to be paid.Avoid other airlines but dont be a pushover. If other airlines all fly long haul then fly short haul.If desperate, increase prices where there is no competition.If desperatemean, ignore inflight entertainment and services.Reduce salaries and spare staff to 5 and accept a slightly higher staff turnover.Avoid the largest airports and operate out of the medium sized airports with lower gate fees.Forget all about owning planes for the first year.
New airline in an old world:Much as aboveLook for old but useful planes that can be leased relatively cheaply instead of new planes. For example O2 has had lots of planes being replaced at 6-9 years old, with the old planes entering the used pool at an age when they are still very useful.REALLY avoid other airlines

Start with Tupolev Tu-214 and Ilyushin Il-96-400 as these are cheaper to acquire and can get you started quickly, although youll want to replace them with the A320 and A330 families when you have enough of a cash flow. Thats the strategy I use when getting started and I dont do any of that spamlining nonsense.

I usually unclip my left foot first, lean slightly that direction with my foot on the ground, I then come to a complete stop and then unclip my right foot.

For some reason I had gotten my left foot out and on the ground but my right foot just wouldnt unclip and I just in slow motion fell to the right...but I had come to a complete stop already and had my left foot firmly on the ground. I guess I just didnt lean the bike far enough to the left. Ya live, ya learn. Im sure glad I can share on here, none of my friends ride so they just dont get it.
