    Thank you very much!


    I do have a other questions:

    What airports do you have?

    Should I start retiring my older smaller planes for bigger ones? Are there certain ones people get at certain levels? And do you upgrade the planes?

    Do people go after the bux jobs first and then sell for coin? Thanks!

    This is my first post here. I have a question. What's better: tetra or sequoia? I don't care about speed and want a plane that costs less per flight (bigger profits). I thought I might as well ask the pros with determining costs and such.

    Welcome! :)

    I'll let someone else answer your question since I cannot speak from experience (I skipped Tetra/Sequoia planes, didn't use them at all).
    However you might find it interesting to peruse this spreadsheet while you wait for someone else to respond ... :)

    Welcome!!! :)

    Pez' response to you earlier offers some sound advice.
    http://forums.toucharcade.com/showpost.php?p=2345121&postcount=4850

    Which airports do you own?
    You'll eventually want to transition into owning mostly class 3 (red) airports, and start phasing out class 1 (black) airports. Try to spread out your airports for more profitable jobs.

    I usually pick up Bux along the way, choosing them before regular jobs. Have never cashed them in for coins. Start hoarding coins and Bux. You will need a lot of Bux for buying/building airplanes. And you'll need a lot of coins to buy and upgrade airports.

    This wiki page enumerates the planes and the level they unlock:

    I don't know about the Tetra but my biggest profit with a Sequioa was roughly 16,300 from Tokyo to LA. :)

    Hey, you're slacking ... no sleeping on the job!!! I see you trailing the #1 guy (who is that btw?) ... awesome job holding a lead position. :D

    Here's what the leaderboard looks like, last time I checked.
    OMG, look at the 1000+ job spread between #3 and #4!!

    1. 3781
    2. 3557 - Pocketplanegod97
    3. 3310
    4. 2248
    5. 2157
    6. 2118 (me)
    7. 2069
    8. 2005
    9. 2001
    10. 1908


    So I think I've figured out why I like doing these Global Events. It as soooooo much easier/faster to find those BLUE jobs while scrolling through a list of 80++++ jobs, very fast to zero in on them and load them onto a plane.
    I wish we could color code other jobs by cities, would make it easier while doing all that scrolling.

    Nope ... but I just checked the Market and bought one for you. :D

    Sequoia would be cheaper per flight. The flight cost is basically the weight times the speed. Since they both weight 10.0, the sequoia will be much cheaper to fly since it is much slower.
