Edit airline details + CEO name - Unknown98 - 06-30-2018
You can now edit your airline's IATA code, callsign, and specify a CEO name. This is all in the edit airline page, previously the "change airline name" page. You can change your IATA code, callsign, and CEO name as many times as you want without penalty but changing your airline name will still cost money & reputation. I also changed the formula for that a bit so it is more expensive to change your name. You now get a reputation penalty regardless of your current reputation, currently you could change your name and if you were under 50% reputation it would not penalize you any rep points - not sure why I made it that way initially, but regardless it is changed now to give a rep penalty regardless of your current reputation.
Thanks to Dokhu for the CEO name idea

I really needed that. Thanks !
Quick question, when you type in the IATA code, it lets you have up to three letters-numbers. The IATA code in real life needs to be up to 2 letters-numbers. Maybe you need to change that to 2 letters and numbers ?

Little things add so much to it overall.

Yeah, I cringe a little bit when airlines have 3 letters for the IATA

Didn't know that. Thought it was 2 or 3 letters/numbers.
So what's the difference between IATA and ICAO? What should be used for the game?

ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) is a UN-body which focusses on international harmonization of civil aviation regulations.
ICAO codes are used for "official" purposes such as Air Traffic Control; E.g. flight plans use ICAO codes for airports and airline flight identification.
IATA (International Air Transport Association) is a trade association that focusses on making air traffic businesses safe, secure, reliable and efficient.
IATA codes are mainly used for ticketing. E.g. travel itineraries use IATA codes for airports and IATA flight numbers.

I knew about the difference between these organisations, but didn't know what their codes were used for exactly.
