What's your favorite site for getting Aviation News?

I have three:
onemileatatime.com (trip reports generally)
airlinegeeks.com
aeronauticsonline.com (I work for this site, so I'm a little biased ) 

Going to sticky this since it is a very common question.

Short answer: Lower your debt to asset ratio (have more assets than debts), have positive cashflow, and strong profit margins. Airline age also plays a small role.
Long answer: It's complicated.

You will not get to AAA credit rating in a short amount of time, in fact it could take you several weeks to get into the B's.

There is a spreadsheet available that you can download to see how the credit rating is calculated for your airline. See here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...sp=sharing

Simply having more assets than debts is not enough in and of itself, if you do not have a positive cashflow, it will severely impact your credit rating.

Hi,

I recently started my airline, easyJet. I have scheduled many flights, and have aircraft.
However, there have been 21 flights since I started the airline, and none of them have had any passengers at all.
I was wondering if there is an issue with how I have setup my flights, or if it is a technical issue on part of the website?

Please let me know.

The Airbus poll is up! And I still encourage Boeing lovers to participate in this poll - at the extreme please still just choose the aircraft you hate the least!
I have not included the Bombardier CSeries (a.k.a. A220) because I do not think of them as fully-fledged Airbus aircraft.

Multiple choice of 2 is enabled!

Since sfk wanted to see an aircraft poll (and there are just so many) maybe I will start with a poll on our favorite Boeing airliners. Watch out later for Airbus and the other companies, as well as some classic aircraft (if possible)! This is a multiple choice poll with a maximum of two choices!

Vote for your favorite alliance! And if I missed any please tell me!

The previous topic "Aircraft Recognition Game" seems to have died out so let us try to restart the game again! I think we all know the rules to how this is played

Here's the first aircraft to guess:


If anyone is interested, I can do a scoreboard to keep a record of the number of times anyone guesses correctly!

SCOREBOARD
First place - sfk - 9
2nd place - Anzatax - 8
3rd place - WhiteFright - 3
4 - Carde - 2
5 - Logan Leblanc- 2
6 - chaitanya - 1
7 - Spyros - 1

Since Carde didn't like that I didn't include Vickers-Armstrong in my previous poll, here's a new one with just about every manufacturer I can think of.

(I only have 10 because I can't do more)
