So are aeroeagle's what I really want to have a lot of?

Bangalore is down again. Twice today which I have never seen happen. I am guessing this is Nimblebit ramping up the difficulty and making us have to think and adjust. Irritating yes. But kind of cool.

Wish we thought of being able to do something like that. It is completely random.

I thought you guys were busy laughing at us trying to do this event lol closing things left and right. I found that idea fun but it's even better that the game itself is playing with us in a sense albeit unwittingly...

And... NY is closed again!

Okay, so this game is sentient and is messing with our minds. Very clever, NimbleBit.

I wonder who's #1? That person has about 1700 jobs right now, 500 ahead of #2. I'm tied for #7, which won't last since I need to go have a life at some point.

That was strange. New York showed 39 minutes left in the closure, and just a minute later it was open again?

Aaaahhhh, half my planes were grounded in New York! Not convinced of the randomness.

Yeah, who is #1?

#1 ... 1714
#2 ... 1245
#3 ... 1035 (me)
#4 ... 1027
#5 ... 903
#6 ... 831
#7 ... 830
#8 ... 779
#9 ... 774
#10 ... 727

Love those AeroEagles.

Aeroeagles are great if you like a slightly quicker game or can check in frequently. Cyclones are wicked fast.
Otherwise choose Sequoia for a slower paced game, checking in less frequently.

NY to London
Sequoia 34 min (3x weight upgrade)
AeroEagle 29 min (3x weight upgrade, zero speed upgrade)
Fogbuster 20 min (3x weight upgrade)
Cyclone 19 min (3x weight upgrade, zero speed upgrade)


NY to Shanghai (via London & Tehran, cuz AE can't make it to Paris)
Sequoia 1 hr 32 min
AeroEagle 1 hr 19 min
Fogbuster 56 min
Cyclone 51 min

Keep in mind that slower planes generally make more profit than faster planes.

Left the game unattended for an hour and dropped from 8 to 15.
