How do you raise your credit rating(quickly)?

[Jamesthomeson]

The game was just reset in like what, maybe 3 days ago yet I'm still struggling with my credit. It's the starting stages and I expect to be at a low point for a while but I see other airlines with fleets much larger than mine with "A" and above credit scores. 

Does anyone know how I can get my airline like this?

Also I think I put this thread in the wrong topic. ?

What I did was start off with the smallest loan (I think it's 20mil). Lease 5 aircraft (may account money balance should then reduce to about 17-18mil) then after about 2-3 days I can fully pay off the 20mil loan (which raises my credit rating) and then I have the option to lease up to 145 more aircraft.

Yep, that's just about what I did, and it works. Loans seriously lower credit rating, so try to pay it off as soon as possible.

I started off with 20 Million. I have paid 13 Mill and my credit rating is still C and I have a fleet of 5. I am only earning like 300K a day. Is it normal?

Yes, it is normal. It takes time. It took me around 16 days to increase my credit rating from C to CCC+.

How about this?  I am doing just fine?  I just returned to playing this game and noticed a huge difference in pace.  Thanks.

Well, we had a change in the credit rating calculation, and that might be the key to what you experienced.

Here's the current credit rating spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...sp=sharing

Thanks for the link. I guess I should just focus on paying the loan for now. Thanks.

It's intentionally programmed so you can't raise it quickly, so the answer to the common question of "how can I raise my credit rating quickly" is essentially "you can't".

FYI the game has not been reset for several months. There is a reset planned in the near future but it has not happened as of yet.
