One pilot airline

[georak]

Greetings People !

I have been reading the forum for days about this grandiose add-on, and one thought just hit me: Would I be the only pilot in my airline who
is doing the flying, or will there be a possibility to hire AI pilots to take over some (or the majority) of the routes? Whatever the answer is, I
have a hard time waiting for the release. :-))

Hi Geo,

You can create and add several pilots to your airline, as you can also have different airlines. The added pilots are not AI pilots that will fly
routes and add money in your bank account and you without doing anything

But YOU can take place of any of the created pilots as you can select the active pilot for a flight before departure.

You'll be able to customize each pilot with full name, date of birth, picture and each one will live his own life as they have separate
statistics and therefore different ranks, progress, notation etc..

Thanks for the supersonic response...

So this means, if I intend to maintain a daily sevice – say Budapest - Prague - Budapest (that is about an hour with a B737 one way) – then
I have to actualy fly it all the way every day beside the other routes I wish to schedule to keep the company in motion. I think I will simply quit
sleeping. Or maybe it would be a better idea to plan weekly flights to our desired destinations (1 per day or so), in order to be able to
accomplish all of them without consuming all of our freetime (or more).

What do You think?

I think FSPassengers is not an Airline Tycoon-like. So you shouldn't expect a full airline simulation. This means you won't have to fly
everyday nor to log a lot of flight hours in order to save your airline company.

If you intend to maintain a daily sevice, this is only your own decision, and your fault if you stop sleeping then . Anyway, I'll understand if you're turning addicted.

Only when you fly in FS, you'll affect your airline's account balance, positively or negatively. Or you can stay at office, never fly and only
purchase aircrafts. One day you'll run out of money .

You'll earn money if you're efficient, or you might loose some money if the flights were not satisfyling for passengers, if you didn't respect
flight rules, if you damaged the aircraft etc..

Thanks for the info!!!

I can only say this add-on is going to be one of the major milestones in FS evet . Despite - as You have said - not an Airline Tycoon-like
software, it still promises to be a very complex piece of enhancement.
I can hardly wait ....
