    I'm not quite at the point of getting million coins per day, but getting close. Slowed down progress quite a bit early trying to do some of the class 1 airport achievements, and having to reset them cuz of a bug with closing Easter island airport. I guess I keep asking about the 1000 job personal event rewards because that's the only place I see any longer term playability at the moment. Maybe more planes (unmanned aircraft or NASA jets) as rewards for completing that? Seahawks is a cool reward to help finish up rest of achievements. But I'm currently stuck with it just taking so long to get 1000 jobs anywhere. Maybe nimblebit will come up with an end game (Diablo 3 has the exact same problem with lack of replayability, and I counted on the combo of that and PP to at least last me through summer.) Tiny tower had the awesome feeling whenever you got somebody with dream job, and then that moment they were all lvl 9 and dream jobs. I trust Nimblebit to figure something out, hopefully sooner rather than later.

    One idea I had was some more customization of the pilots. Like bonuses for certain routes they run or planes they fly? Just a thought

    In my opinion, you should invest in Pearjets and close airports. At this point, you probably shouldn't have any Class 1 airports. When I was at a similar level to you, I had a lot of luck with New York, Chicago and Atlanta in the US and Paris, London, Berlin and Madrid in Europe. I used Pearjets to cross the Atlantic and Mohawks/Equinoxes to shuttle jobs around on either end. I'd probably run with 4 Pearjets and maybe 8 Mohawks/Equinoxes (4 on each end).

    Does anyone feel blindsided by the end of the Philadelphia Global Mission? Just realized that it is over! I admit I didn't pay attention to the timer, I thought it would go on for a couple of days.

    Cape Town is up next ... and the prize is back to a few measly Bux.
    Oh gosh, I sold off my African cities a while back.

    Do I really want to branch back out into Africa? It's a loooooong way from Paris or Tehran. :(

    Or should I just buy Cape Town plus a few surrounding cities just to do this Global Mission?

    Is it just me or are the prizes getting worse?
    It's gone from 60 bux to a lousy 25 bux.

    Yes, the prizes are going downhill (and I make more Bux than that on a daily basis by doing jobs). But I still want to do my small part for TA so I don't feel like a freeloader. :D

    Besides ... I like to have small personal goals to work on, so things don't get too dull.

    You'll need a minimum of an upgraded Pearjet to make the jump from New York to London. Pearjets are unlocked at level 14.

    No, London is a good airport to have if you plan on branching out into Europe in the future.

    If you are based in South America, you can take your Birchcraft across the Atlantic to Africa. I did that for a short time, going from Rio to Lagos (which requires a fully upgraded Birch). You can try Recife to Lagos, which a non-upgraded Birch should be able to do. ... then work your way up to Madrid and then to London.

    I did several hundred jobs to Philly also and haven't seen anything yet ... but am not surprised at all. There's always a delay before prizes get passed out. I wouldn't worry too much. I'm sure it'll materialize by morning. :)

    No I haven't got it either yet. But then I never got yesterdays reward, so not sure this one will come either (previous two came OK).

    Working on Cape Town now.

    My jobs never showed up for the Moscow event, even tho I did at least 20. This event showed I had jobs done, so I'm hoping it will show up, unlike the last one.

    Cloudliner-Mixed ?

    Hi, is it better to get Cloudliner-Mixed or to get a pair of Cloudliner-P and Cloudliner-C ?

    The imbalance ratio for "M" looks bad; but 17 pure "P" or "C" seem to be even more frightening.

    Do you guys thinks there will be future opportunities to get a Sea Knight (or Sea Knight parts) ?
