    Thanks for the info....I may reconfigure my setup and run that routing. There's never the plane in the store when you want one so I sent an Aero P and a couple Cyclone M's

    Awesome! Thanks a bunch! Let me know how it works for you, it has been a while since I ran the route.

    Oh, and tell me about it, I can buy Aeros now.... but there never are any M parts in the store......

    Mostly for events to flood in a large amount of class 1 or 2 planes. I think I was up to 30 something before I lost my game. I rarely used them all, if ever. Mostly just a status thing really.

    I understand that but the price for each slot increases at a rather exponential rate and I for the life of me can't understand how some people have over 10'000 bux !

    Look through the forum till you find Faye Valentine. In her signature you'll find a link that has a great collection of tips, including how to collect bux.

    I need bux for my next slot so I'm taking a brief break from events to engage in a practice called: "bux sitting". I only need about 7.000 bux for that since I'll also pick up the balance in coins while doing so. It will only take me a couple days of grinding out flights to get that. I do not need hacks to get that.

    Hey everyone, if you are searching for a cool, new flight crew, check #kajo. We want to take part in as many events as possible. Have fun!

    I made 7500 Bux on the last class 3 event in Bangkok and about 6500 jobs.
    Used the single hub strategy in Bangkok : each of my class 3 planes in any of my 20 airports took every Bux or Bangkok jobs and was sent to Bangkok.
    And then back with the Bux jobs.
    This way you don't have to think what to do, and you can maximize the planes you go through in the 5 minutes before the new jobs.
    I have a lot of planes but this is a strategy you can use early on that manages to collect a lot of BUX and event jobs at the same time. You lose coins though. But coins are rapidly irrelevant anyway, as you need so much for the new slots, only huge Bux exchange do matter.

    Im currently #4 on the current event (Amsterdam) and I'm just about maintaining it with all my class 2 and 3 planes feeding the nearest airports to Amsterdam and then the class 1 planes take it from their.
    I have over 800'000 coins but it'll go again back to low if I buy slot No 21

    When it comes to flight crew jobs, what constitutes as a "job" ?! Is it a plane journey there regardless if their is 1 Passenger or Cargo or its a full plane or is it the total number of passenger/ cargo taken their ?!

    A flight crew job is any blue job delivered to the destination, regardless of whether the plane is full of blue jobs....you don't have to deliver a "full" plane with the 25% bonus to get credit for blue jobs aboard. The jobs numbers update intermittently on the flight crew leaderboard, so it can be hard to see the progress. I occasionally send several hundred jobs especially at the beginning of an event until I see them "count" on the leaderboard.

    Ok much appreciated so for example if a cloudliner with all 17 slots filled up is 17 jobs or just 1 job ?!

    Hi :)

    For the therustysnowman tool, it has been exceedingly helpful in helping me plan my routes in the early stages (and still now, as I now can upgrade the Cloudliner exactly 10% to reach Los Angeles-Cairo-Shanghai). A rule of thumb with the Mapples is that since it's similar to the Mohawks, if the mohawk can reach it, the Mapple can.
