    Two quick questions, what planes do you have in your fleet and what does your next plane slot cost when you already have 54 open.

    Just want to get a little scared as I find out how much I need to build my own empire that big

    The 43 planes below don't change:
    32 Cyclone Ms (22 regular fleet+10 Bux sitters flying for this event)
    3 Cloudliners P, 3 Cloud C, 1 Cyclone P, 1 Cyc c (global event fleet)
    2 Concordes, 1 C130

    Plus 11 slots open for the different needs of global events, currently 11 Sequoias M

    Next slot is 169,000,000 coins ;)
    The only way to buy coins above 40th is massive Bux exchange.

    1000 jobs in 2 hours : Check :D

    And as you can see, 500 Bux collected in the way.

    Strategy is simple, some here use it all the time with a center of the map city.

    Every plane outside London fills with any Bux job and London jobs. When full, go to London.
    Fill planes in London in descending order (first on the planes list goes to Seoul, 2nd to Shangai, 3rd to LA...). send when full.
    Rinse repeat until battery dies :D

    Holy shishkabob Batman!!!!!

    Ok I woke up to find myself alone on the leader board. Waited a bit for it to populate with names, then realized all those peeps around me aren't friends with me. :( It feels like the old Original TA days. :( But watch out ... I'm gonna change that!!! :)

    I have some tips to go faster with the traffic jam in London. Mostly because I don't care about coins ;)

    I got a pair of Cloudliners P/C in Istanbul, Cairo, and NY, and a pair of Cyclones P/C in Paris dedicated to their own route to London. Those go back FROM London immediately with whatever jobs are in London. If they have no Bux jobs when going TO London, I send them on round trips to London and back.

    For the 32 Cyclones M, they are not assigned to one city in particular. When going TO London, if they are only missing one or two cargo or passengers, I fill with some Paris jobs and send them immediately.
    And for the planes in London, I go down the planes list, the 1st plane in the list goes to the first city on the job list (ie farthest, so Seoul).
    The 2nd one goes to the next one (Shangai) and so on so I clear the jobs list in London as I go down the planes list.
    Sometimes, the jobs list in London gets almost totally empty when there are 15 or 20 planes sitting there lol :D
    Making it a no brainer decision is way faster than when you have to scroll the jobs list and decide where your plane will go. Useful with 54 planes ;)

    Haven't posted to the forums due to life, ER trip, no energy and non-play. I have missed you guys. Back in it and helping keep our numbers up.

    I love my C-130. I think it is the camouflage detailing. Can't wait to get another one.

    Vicsark thanks for posting your London + bux strat. London is my major hub so I will try that technique.

    Go TA1!

    I'm only doing that with the Cloudliners P/C which go back to the closest class 3 airports.
    But I send the cyclones Ms back from London with the 25% bonus. It takes usually 2 or 3 turns to fill them.

    I could send them back immediately to accelerate even more the turnover. Might try that to poke superpenguin and snowbird :D
