What if we gave our customers some kind of credits? Linked to the passenger name database, points this passenger would acquire by
flying with us. There could be a limited number of seats for those people and a percentage of chance of having someone who won the
ticket. Fidelity programs are nice to promote a company's reputation, and it also enables us to rise a little bit the ticket price without losing
customers! Cool

So basically a frequent flyer program? I don't see how this would really benefit the ambiance or the general operation of FSP. I don't
even pay any attention to it in real life! lol

In my opinion, we would benefit from having some way to manage the company income different from the airfares. Most of the times I
don't even open the passengers list either, but promotions like this can improve the idea of managing an airline company. The idea
implemented in FsP is very good, but we must admit that it's quite far from the reality. I know this is not the objective of this fabulous add-
on, but maybe we can have some fun with it too!
The simulation will surely reach another level of reality... Maybe in the future we could distribute the company's costs among personnel,
marketing, and so on.
The more qualified the team is, the more satisfied the customers will be.

What you're recommending sounds like turning FS9 into a game like Airport Tycoon.... lot's of micro management, and little flying. I like
FS9, and FSP the way they are, and don't think that any additional micro-managing would benefit the simulation. There are other games
like this out there, and from what I've heard there's a FS addon out there that adds some addition micro-managing. I don't recall the
name of it off hand though.

As I said, this is just another stupid idea...
You're right... Just forget about it! I'm stupid

No idea is a stupid idea... thanks for the recommendation! Remember, you can post freely here... that's one of the great things about this
forum.

I have to admit I would like to see how much my crew earn, not interested too much in controlling it but just have it taken out of the profits
at the end of the flight.

~~SWAFO~~ · 07-09-2005, 03:19 PM

That would be interesting... I think for FSP, if the crew was to receive pay, it should be on a "trip" system like here with SWA. That way,
pilots are rewarded based on how much they fly, as opposed to having an even, across the board salary.

jboweruk · 08-09-2005, 11:37 AM

I thought flight crews (pilots at least) got paid by the "flight hour", at least according to a site I once saw that showed what they earn. Made
me jealous as what they get per hour some of 'em is more than I get in a week.

~~SWAFO~~ · 08-09-2005, 03:08 PM

Some airlines do the "flight hour" payment, others do a "trip" payment (like SWA), and yet others do a salary. Flight hour and trip payment
is basically the same. Here at SWA, a trip is 1.5 hours, so we get paid accordingly based on the length of each flight. I would hate
making a salary (like I did with the military). Too much work, too little pay!

sorry to cut in on this thread, but i would like to know that little program that adds the other micromanged stuff, any way you could dig that
up?

thanks

~~SWAFO~~ · 09-09-2005, 12:24 AM

I think it's "FSEconomy" or something similiar. Not too sure though.

jboweruk · 09-09-2005, 08:31 AM

It sure is http://www.fseconomy.com

Good fun but can be quite hard. I stayed there till FSPassengers came out then dropped out of the whole online airline thing.

briansommers · 09-09-2005, 02:21 PM

oh yeah fs econcomy - never really worked well for me either
thanks
