I have a question for you. Do you put costumes on your pilots, and if so, on which planes and what costumes do you prefer?

I put the Airline Pilot costume on my pilots who fly P and M planes. The Jet Pilot/Helmet for my military craft. And the Red Baron for my Hot Air Balloon because its sn open craft, and where it flies, its cold.

Here's the global leaderboard:
#1 45,672 jobs TA0 (> 1445 members.)
#2 8096 jobs TA1 (47 members)
#3 7139 jobs Nimblewiki
#4 4578 jobs Jayisgames

(Note: I use my iphone PP to send 1 job to Tiki to so that i'm the last on the leaderboard. For TA0, I sent one job and ended at #1440. But #1445 is still 1 job so ....)

TA0 #1 750jobs, #10 290 jobs, accumulated top 10 5004 jobs
TA1 #1 1096 jobs, #10 281 jobs, accumulated top 10 4598 jobs
Nimblewiki #1 589 jobs, #10 110jobs, accumulated top 10 2193 jobs
Jayisgames #1 420jobs, #10 80jobs, accumulated top10 1528 jobs

Very interesting thks for taking the time to do this!
Train2000 posted his research on the other teams a while back (during Zanzibar event I think)
He had sthg like 7/8 team names (IGN is not that big for instance)

And yes, Nokitano has been a beast on this one, he had twice my jobs this morning o_O
and I had 200 jobs more than the wolf pack battling for 3rd place!


Edit : Nobody here? Are y'all voting or what?

Nah, my state has early voting so I took care of that already. Unfortunately I got stuck in traffic behind all the people heading home early to vote.

No last-minute push this time. I have to spend my morning prepping for a long afternoon phone conference that starts right when the event ends. But at least my thumb is mostly functional again, yay.

I've thought about costuming some pilots but I'm too frugal to spend the bux.

One word : Stormtroopers

I'd like to watch the election result live (It's 1 A.M. here)
I did that in 2008 but I didn't have a kid to feed at dawn then

I voted! No lines, avoided the lunch rush and after work crowd.
I had an absentee ballot, but didn't get my shishkabob together to mail it in on time ... was still trying to figure out the props this morning. Now I can go back to playing PP & MW.

I heard that if you ask for an absentee ballot but don't mail one in and go to the polls to vote instead, that you vote isn't even counted until next week. It's called a provisional vote or something.

Something like that. I think that if you request an absentee ballot, the system will assume you are voting via that ballot and thus your vote will not be tallied until their deadline for receiving the ballots via mail. According to my county's election site, that deadline is 10 days after Election Day.

Inching my way back up the Leaderboard, but you TA1'ers are not making it easy!

A feeding at dawn? Is that when you send all your planes to get a jump on the rest of us?
Actually, I do most of my Pocket Planes gaming while feeding my 6-month old. How old is your baby?

She's almost 2 yrs old, and thus, playing a few minutes of PP here and there is more convenient than finishing Mass effect 3 on Xbox

Looks like NYT's 538 blog had it figured out, election's called, nothing changes (G.O.P house, Dems senate and Obama second term)...
And big Florida mess as usual! 6 bln$ campaign is over...

Hey guys,

Need some management advice,

I'm currently lvl 20, 14 planes (some mohaws, pearjets and a fogbuster) and 40 open airports.

There's probably too many airports?

If I close some of them, will I then have as many jobs but with more people/cargo to the same destination?
