    Now that I can get this on my phone, expect huge rise in stock. Buying at least 10 DMs a day now, will invest in a few companies!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 686 ✭✭✭joegriffinjnr


    Missus due a baby any day now, so expansion will be put of the back burner for a bit. Ill try to launch flights whenever I can to keep the stock levels up. No new aircraft expected for the next two weeks at least.

    Yes it does. It is waste of funds until your airline is well established.

    You should by the most expensive type for the longest period, for the cheapest price (~$700) if and when you do.

    Congrats joe!!!

    In 10 days my stock has gone from 99cents to $2.56 - hit my 200 DM's, next step is 200 DC-10-10, which will be a bit slower than building up my DM's. What I really love is the increase in PAX points you can get, before it was ages to build up points without buying them, but now its great. Once I get enough, I'll get the business sections going!

    Thanks all.. :).

    A lot of 'behind the scenes' work been done at Griffair World Airlines today. All long haul aircraft will be converted to all business class, this will max profits per aircraft.

    We have opened a new hub at San Francisco. 50 767-200ER aircraft will be joing the fleet over the next day, 15 have been delivered already and have entered service on trans atlantic routes to Europe.

    Stocks are up to $ 46.29 and 129 aircraft are currently in our fleet.

    Griffair World Airlines.


    Meanwhile our sister airline Futura. Airlines is exceeding our expectations as shares rocket to $ 27.85 as the fleet hits 252 aircraft. If you want to turn your investments in to a real profit then this is the airline for you. 20 787 aircraft are expected to enter the fleet today.

    When searching for futura. airlines on the stock market, do not forget the full stop after futura.

    RebelAirCork saw an 11.5% increase in stock value today, now at $3.35. Will be buying 5 to 6 DC 10s a day, maybe more, so stock will rise significantly


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 26,403 Mod ✭✭✭✭Peregrine


    Invest in Echo Zulu Air, stock price is $2.03, up from 35c this time last week.

    Buying 6-10 DC10s a day.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,738 ✭✭✭2011abc


    Seriously folks you can find charts easily to tell you when all the cheap fuel etc is available .Stockmarket isnt worth a curse to the person who you buy from ,and far less than just buying another plane to the purchaser ,why even bother?Theres a foolproof 'fast track' method which will have ye all with 600 A380s in 2-3 months ....
    Ok here we go again ...Sell your 737 .Buy Dassault Mercures .Put on longest possible (2 hour) routes with max advertising and cheap fuel .Keep buying more until you have 400-600 THis will take days not weeks especially if you launch as close to 24/7 as you can .Then move up to DCs(DC10-10 I think) and repeat, then Il76 then A380.Goddamit dont get me readdicted to this yoke!!!

    Thats the boring way though. Dont know about anyone else but Im just playing for fun, building up my airline with my hubs and planes I want to fly, not what some fast track guide is telling me to do. I have done that before, I agree it does build your airline up fast but its boring, hell I was even num 2 in the AM hall of fame.

    Been playing for 2 years now. Currently have 320 Aircraft, 130 of those are A380's. $92 Billion in Bank and 1280 points.
    I just keep buying A380s but not sure if its the best strategy?

    All depends what way you want to play. If you are playing for fun do whatever keeps you happy and in to the game. If you want to grow fast I suggest the following:

    Get The Business Class Achievement if you haven't got it yet.

    Convert them A380,s you have to all biz class and fly them on max range/demand routes.

    Keep buying the A380-900 and keep converting them to all Biz Class.

    Get Cargo, keep buying the AN-225. Theres a trick with cargo, You get paid by the load and not distance so keep the loads high and distances small.

    Also advertise all your routes with billboard and get the best catering.

    All the above works better with no hub selected, however if you have selected a hub already well then you just have to stick with that.

    At the moment I'm playing to grow big, get the money in the bank and start buying some a380s and have an entire airbus fleet. Whatever I earn per day is being ploughed back into buying Dc10s.

    Royal Sun Atlantic Airlines has announced a strategic alliance with Griffair World Airways, Futura. Airlines & Airlingus Airlines having invested over $1billion into these Airlines.

    Markets reacted positively to the news amid this latest round of restructuring at the carrier, in response to the news Unions announced industrial action, management in return announced a 10% paycut across the board with over 800 compulsory redundancies at the airline.

    CEO Mr. Stinicker said that these measures are needed to ensure the competitiveness of the airline going forward and the $1bn stock investment is set to be matched by a $3.2bn fleet upgrade which will see the interiors of all 700 of the A380-900 fleet refitted with the latest in business cabins, unprofitable long-haul routes in excess 19,000kms or 20hrs flying time will be re-evaluated and some of our Airbus A380-900's redeployed on higher traffic routes. I will drive profitability upwards, cut costs and am here now declaring an all out war on my competitors and this summer I pledge to fly over 300million passengers for 25% lower fares.

    You have to buy it as an add-on using PAX points (you earn these points using gameplay or you can buy them) and then convert your aircraft to the business seating layout you require.
