Management

Hire pilots and stop a strike

Pay pilots from cash, answer workforce funding prompts, and treat a strike as halted departures rather than a timed event with a published fine.

Hire pilots and stop a strike

Pay pilots from cash, answer workforce funding prompts, and treat a strike as halted departures rather than a timed event with a published fine.

Pilots, morale, and company policy sit in management windows, not on the globe. The flight will not operate itself just because the route line exists.

Hire crew

Standard pilots are paid from the airline's cash. You need them on the aircraft you schedule. The Early Supporter pass added two Expert Pilot rolls per airline on top of that payroll. The pass is a 299 Robux listing with a stated removal date of 2026-10-23; details are in research and the pass.

Expert rolls are not a named cast of characters. Sources do not list pilot names, wages, or a hiring level gate.

Read the morale HUD

The HUD shows a morale percent, a mood word, and a star score. One official frame shows 72 percent Content and 4.0 stars next to the fuel price. Funding prompts that ask you to spend on the workforce have been observed lifting satisfaction to about 93 percent, and other notes describe holding approval above 90 percent. Those are separate observations, not a cap and not a minimum you must hit.

A Social panel on the same HUD style shows short passenger comments about the airline. It is a feedback ticker, not a quest list.

If a strike starts

Strikes are listed with fuel spikes, crashes, and bankruptcy as ways the network stops. Unhappy staff halt departures and leave aircraft at the terminal while costs continue. Because the clock is 60X, a short real-world delay covers a lot of missed flights.

What the notes actually support:

  • Approve the funding prompt when you can pay it. That is the documented morale raise.
  • Keep company policy in place so working conditions are not an afterthought. Individual policy toggles are not itemized.
  • Do not combine a strike with deferred maintenance. Groundings and walkouts at the same time remove both the jet and the crew.

There is no published strike timer or fine amount. The recovery described is to restore morale, then release the aircraft that are still airworthy.

Track the public result on rankings and badges only after departures are moving again. A strike does not award progress.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a new airline start with?

One airport, one used jet, and $1,000,000. Flights do not earn money until you buy a second airport and draw a route.

Why would regulators ground a plane?

Old jets that skip maintenance are grounded and stop earning while overhead continues. Leaving them in that state can escalate to an Air News crash.

How fast does the clock run?

The base simulation is 60X. One real minute equals one simulated hour. The Early Supporter pass added a separate permanent 1.1x speed boost on top of that clock.

Can I rename the company?

A standard profile keeps the name chosen at the start. The Early Supporter pass included one free company name change.

Are there working codes?

FALL2026 is the only published string, labeled as perks. The experience description stopped printing it on 2026-10-28 and told players to join the developer server for codes.
