    So airport upgrades become essential as you get bigger capacity planes?

    I will soon be retiring my fleet of Birchcrafts. If anyone is interested in trading P-40 Warhawk or Huey parts shoot me a PM.

    Okay, this is really confusing me. Maybe someone can help me out. I usually play Pocket Planes on my iPad, but I'd like to also play it on the iPhone. I want my main game (which I'm fairly far on) to sync via iCloud from the iPad to the iPhone. However, this does not happen and I'm not sure why. Anyone know how to sync the two? My games are updated on both devices, btw.

    SURELY having P or C (and NOT both) is a massive disadvantage!? You're losing out on literally half of the available jobs?

    Even if you have both you are missing half of the potential jobs. Most frequently your planes will not be at the same airport, so wherever your Ps are, they are missing all C jobs, and wherever your Cs are they are missing all P jobs. That really doesn't matter though. Jobs are completely random and any plane type has an equal chance of seeing a full load. Having both P and C is a bad idea for many reasons, and just 1 or the other is a better idea in every way (except for special event deliveries that can only be passenger or cargo). Like I said though, fly what you like ;) Personally I'm finding 100% M to be easy to manage and highly profitable.

    Hey dude (and others of course)... Can you give your opinion on my latest strategy thoughts? I seem to change my mind every hour.

    My latest plan is a main route of LA --> Beijing (with NYC, London, Tehran in between). I would then have some 'feeder' ports (San Fran, Pheonix, Honolulu, Seattle to LA for example, and Harbin, Shenyang, Xi'an to Beijing for example)...

    I would have a set of planes running the LA --> Beijing route non-stop, no matter what, from end to end... I would have another set of planes running this route picking up good bux in the intermediate ports (NYC, London, Tehran), and I would have a set running each set of feeder ports for layovers...

    What do you think to that for an idea?

    Thanks for the opinions Royce. Interesting thoughts! I've got a mix, and you make a good point. Think i might work towards all M planes.

    I like 'M' planes the most, they're all I use. They never fail to fill and they make me lots of coins!

    Whats everyone think. This is what I got:

    AIRPORTS:
    -Honolulu
    -LA
    -Mexico City
    -New York
    -Lima
    -Rio
    -Lagos
    -London
    -Tehran
    -Bejing

    PLANES:
    -4 PearJets (P,P,P,M)
    -1 FogBuster (P)
    -5 BirchCrafts (C,C,P,P,M)
    -(Get rid of couple of these and put my AeroEagles in?)

    * Have 2 Aero-Ps but only 163 bux. Should I get both of them in for 2 of my Birchs?
    * Also have 77k and next plane slot is only 68k, should I get another plane in rotation?

    You should definitely pick up that plane slot.

    Edit: How did you get a Fogbuster?! Those things are expensive as sh*t to operate!

    I received it earlier for my first flight there. Have you updated to the latest version?

    It's a known bug.

    Do you actually have it in the achievement list, or did you just see the popup notification?
