Airline Empires

I'm playing Airline Empires! It is great fun -- I have some REALLY profitable routes! Any of you play it?

I played it in the past...gets boring after a while....
I'm currently developing a game similar to it.

Oh, cool!
I am making a freaking load of money - you can get away with charging $1000 to cram 149 people in a 737-300, with awful, full-price (really expensive) IFS, no IFE, and paying $30 an hour to your employees.
Cool!

I haven't even heard of that game yet. But then, my play time is obviously limited.

Once I crammed 168 people into a Beechcraft Bonanza.
EDIT: It was a King Air. And 133 people.
Found my screenshot:

Oh my goodness!
*get off my lap, fat guy*
*get your stupid elbow out of my face, tall guy!*
Can you move your head out of my lap, short guy?*

It reminds me of US Airways/American.
I might have to give AE another try.

I just made a new airline on Sunday past... a week later, I just have opened service to JFK in a 757

I use MD-83's for Europe and 757-200's for Intl... might have to consider the A320 and 747 soon.

Daily profit of over 1.5 million USD

Profit reaching 40MIL with another airline. Just 16 years old, and I have a surplus of several billion. Placed an order for seventy 737NG and thirtyfive A321... combined value nearly 2.5 billion...

Planning to replace MD11 at 7 years with A333 and then the 734s at 10 years with more 737NG.
