    It took me a few cycles to get into the new routine, now I don't have to think too hard about which plane is going where. I'm now up to 212 jobs for a rank of #23. I love not having to check in frequently.

    Well done. I closed my novo and norl at about 80, trying to focus on levels and profit at the moment. I also like to send my planes off on long trips, I hate constantly fighting to refill them lol

    Hi everyone,
    I'm new to the forums but have been playing pocket planes for a while and try to participate in all the flight crew events as long as my airports and planes allow!

    I was wondering, does anyone know what's up with all this sunken treasure that keeps appearing in my jobs list? Does it give some kind of bonus?

    I am using London as my event drop off. Feeding from Shanghai and New York. Was as high as 17th today. Running blimps and mohawks which give a good mix of speed and slow. I have not even had to change my regular runs with this event. They just carry event items along with regular cargo. Thought I would be well out of contention for top spots in this event but surprised at being in the top 20. As usual I will keep feeding the event until it is done.

    Sunken treasure shows up as outgoing cargo from a city that currently has the "dive trip" event. There is no bonus, it's just kind of a fun easter egg.

    If you complete 1000 jobs of that particular event e.g. dive trip, you get 15bux reward. Not really worth it to go out of your way to do it but it's extra rewards it they occur in existing cities. :p

    The most important thing is that you're having fun. :D

    I'd phase out the Pearjets for something else (AeroEagles, Sequoias, etc)
    I assume you have Madrid in order to allow your 2x upgraded Pearjets to cross over the Atlantic to New York. I think I did that too when I started out in the game. Even fully upgraded, Madrid will offer a smaller job pool than a red class 1 city like London. I would sell Madrid and buy London. Your Fogbuster, Sequoia (and 3x upgraded AeroEagle) are able to cross from New York to London.

    I keep changing my routes which results in changing the names & colors on my planes. The color coding helps me identify at a glance the plane's route/region. The naming helps me identify the plane's route
    For example, I used to have blue planes in the Americas and red planes in Europe/Asia. When I switched to a feeder system, I would use one color for feeders and another color for the main long-range route. Right now my flight crew event planes are all completely white.

    When you click on an airplane, click on the little icon at the bottom that looks like an airplane with a magnifying glass. On the next screen, you will see a "remove" button to move your plane into the Hangar.
    Note: it will cost you Bux to move any plane from the Hangar back into active service.

    I'm doing the same thing as you. My regular route is unchanged while I have blimps/kangaroos for the event. It wasn't even that hard to reach the required 40 jobs.
    I have the feeling that the low turnout has to do with the remote location and less desirable reward. I bet people would work much harder if it had a rare plane reward and mystery parts. Total jobs are ridiculously low. I can't believe I'm ranked #17 with only 268 jobs. A top 20 ranking would have jobs in the thousands if this was a rare plane/mystery part event.

    I've reached a point in my game where I'm not playing to maximize profit or level up, so these events keep the game interesting. I don't really need to level up to unlock an additional plane slot, I've got more unlocked plane slots than I will ever use LOL. However I might focus on leveling up if they start introducing new planes that are unlocked at higher levels.

    Same here. Up to a point whereby levels, coins and bux do not matter. Currently chasing all the sub events because i have nothing to do.

    Will there be more achievements in the future? Like deliver a certain number of cargo or passenger to an airport (or it must be a certain type of cargo or passenger). Preferably more difficult ones. :D

    I think it would be good to have a mix of more challenging events (for us bored players) and easier events (so the newer players can take part).
