    Almost certainly #Nimblewiki. They finished #2 last time.

    TA1 is obviously stirring the competitive juices of the other crews.

    I did the same thing although I just kept going after cracking the top 10, think total for the one day was just over 7k+ jobs :) I was rising up with you for a bit there.

    Hey guys,
    I've been busy, minimum jobs or so for the last few events, and my first top 10 in a while.
    Happy to see TA1 with over 103 000 jobs for this one, third crew
    Nimblewiki must have been stinged a bit by us, they're at 20k more. Nice competition!
    Anyhow, the last top 10, 15min before the end
    9th is kr3500 and 10 still Castlepage ;)

    I'm still in awe how fast you passed me! How many planes have you got in the air?

    Finished Boston on 1529 jobs in 20th. It is getting much harder to keep up now, but my bux strat is ramping up nicely.

    Kabul is a short skip away from Delhi, Mumbai and Tehran, all of which I already own, so it is tempting. However, with only 30 bux on the line, I'll skip this one and concentrate or more effective ways to get those bux rolling in.

    YAY Kabul!!! A nice slow paced class 1 airport event. It's perfect since my schedule is pretty busy from now through the new year.

    I didn't have time to work Boston due to the 4-day Thanksgiving weekend, spent much of my time with family and ate way too much food. Didn't really make any great effort on Boston until yesterday (when I thought it ended yesterday, a bit screwed up on the days of the week due to Thanksgiving :D ), and am surprised I managed to make the Top 20.

    Wow I encountered a bug nobody else seems to have reported yet. I had a Aeroeagle-M in NY with 2 Paris-C jobs. After the jobs refreshed, my plane now had 1 Tehran-C job, and 1 Paris-C job.

    I had this happen twice today - changing of loaded jobs after a job refresh!

    This can potentially affect those that park planes in airports loading Bux jobs exclusively...

    Hi all
    This is Jens, I am now level 22. Feel free to add me (jens_mett).
    I see Sequoias are 10 tons and only 190Mph...are you really sure they are so good to earn some coins?

    Faster speed = higher operating costs.

    A full Sequoia (10 jobs) flying from Kinshasa to Bangkok will earn 8810 coins. The operating cost is 3106, so the actual profit is 5704. That is 570.4 coins profit per job.

    A full Cloudliner (17 jobs) flying from Kinshasa to Bangkok will earn 14977 coins. The operating cost is 8893, so the actual profit is 6084. That is 357.9 coins profit per job.

    It takes 46 minutes for a Cloudliner to fly between Kinshasa and Bangkok and then back to Kinshasa, and 40 minutes for a Sequoia to fly just one way. If you bring in a lot of layover jobs and can thus fill a Cloudliner quickly, you will make money faster with the Cloudliner. If you don't have that much time to fuss with layovers, you can fill/send a Sequoia fairly quickly and then check back in an hour or two to do it again.

    I've never seen that before:S I thought ghosts were usually already on the plane.
    Have you tried auto loading Tokyo jobs? If you can get your plane to autoload that empty job, you could then put the plane in a hangar.

    That's just something I would try. Good luck! Hopefully someone who actually knows how to fix it will answer you xD

    Ah. The good ole, evil ghost passengers. Sometimes theyll appear in the airport but they will be onboard even you didnt load them. Best solution: hangar plane then bring it back out OR fly the plane to all your airports and hope it dies off.

    Folks, I know this isn't a full-plane event, but... TA1 is currently 6th on the Leaderboard. SIXTH. I'm not even trying that hard this morning, but my 168 jobs has me at #1 in the crew.

    Where is everyone?

    Happy with my first top 10 finish in the last event, especially since I had to stop with 2 days left to go :)

    Just got back so going to have a look at what I can do on the next event, know I've still got a few Boston layovers to get rid of first.

    Working on it! I have 5 seaknights and a roo going back and forth, but my layovers pile up faster than the planes can make the round trip!
