I was thinking... The more FBOs we have, the more money we can make, and the more fun we can have in FSE. BlueHawk is a big airline, and is not meant to have hubs like AL71, 6TN9 and other VERY small airports (grass strips, etc).But, to make money, I want our next goal to be making enough money to build FBOs at the below airports:MO81 M16 77T M29 3TN9 3I3 MU65 IA59 71J L38 08M KMPE 3IN7 MS80 MS90 2LA4 LS21 LA36 XS33 6FD7 T65 9FD7 CTA4 1G0 CNL3 CYWK AL72 Those are only a few of the airports we can have! So, to the point. I want BlueHawk Virtual to buy supplies, build the FBOs at all small airports around the world, make revenue off of them, and then (drumroll) give an FBO to a worthy pilot(s)! I always think of way to reward upstanding pilots for their service. This is a great way to do so!
It only applies to airports with 2 lots for FBOs. One for BlueHawk, one for the pilot. The way it works:- We will build TWO FBOs at the airports with two lots.
- One FBO will be named after the Airport, the other will be named: BlueHawk Flight Service - AIRPORT.
- On occasion, when a pilot is chosen, the pilot will be given the choice and the FBO of the airport he/she chooses will be transferred to their account.
Our next goal (after get out of debt ), is to build FBOs at all of the listed airports, and more!

My personal view is that we should start of small, and learn how to walk before trying to learn how to fly. My impression of FBOs from what it states in the manual, is that FBOs are not such a great revenue earner, especially in isolation from the rest of the FSE game world. It would be dependent on how active the rest of the FSE community is at that particular location. Plus we are also competing against other airlines, which may sell cheaper services/fuel etc. It could very well be the case that an FBO actually makes a loss rather than a profit, as I assume there are expenses to pay for running an FBO.
I also think that any FBOs or aircraft the airline purchase should remain BlueHawk property. Building up this airline is a team effort. What if you decide to give an FBO to a particular individual, only for that person to leave or become inactive very shortly afterwards? The remaining members of the team would become very disgruntled, very quickly. I feel that if a person wants to own a particular aircraft or FBO, they should accrue enough funds of their own. I keep 30% of any profit I make from flights. Hopefully one day, I'll have made enough money to purchase my own aircraft. The fact I will have done so on my own merit, without relying on the charity of others, will boost my sense of achievement.

That's a good way to put it...
I don't know how big we will do this, but after reading that, we won't do it much.
Thanks for the opinion!

Oh, and we would not give the whole 2 FBOs to pilots. Only 1 of the 2.
