"I've been playing for 8 months and my airline now has 47 routes and 62 aircraft. The credit rating system forces you to make real business decisions — it's not just a game."
"The aircraft auction system is addictive. I won a used A380 at 3am and immediately opened routes to 6 new Asian destinations. The used market pricing feels completely real."
"Started with 2 ATR 72s on short-haul Irish routes. Three years later I have a fleet of 28 aircraft and connections across Europe. The banking system keeps you honest."
