Hi,
Would anybody be interested in forming a team for the next game world when it comes online ?
For example 6 players that form an airline in 3 hubs in different locations around the world. One airline at the hub could be a regional carrier, the other takes care of mid and long haul traffic.
Everything coordinated carefully so, that all hub waves match perfectly, so that the team would effectively function as one airline.
Coordination sounds good but I do not think you will have volunteers for regional airlines... especially considring that startup money is to be made on long haul flights. This may work out for two full equally placed airlines cooperating in a hub, with a distributed wave system (e.g. Ailrine 1: 0-6-12-18, airline 2: 3-9-15-21 waves). This is the best approach, you multiply connections (e.g. in more cases than not, large "competing" airlines interline and they frequntly share multiple hubs, especilaly in markets such as USA, EU and China)
I do not see much success of having "regional/short haul" and "medium/long haul" cooperating ... as one will be destined for growth and the other one will be doomed for struggle.

You maybe right, but nothing is impossible ;-)
Obviously the team would need to agree on things so that everybody is happy with their role. If no volunteers for regional carriers emerge, then it would be only mainline carriers.
I wouldn’t mind doing regional if some mid range routes would be split amongst the two cooperating , but it depends where I would be located.
Definitely a very good idea, just an advice, try forming an alliance in existing world before you start in new world.
That way, you will have more insight about the dynamic of co-operation and know your team members better.
It's gonna be difficult to coordinate with a complete stranger, your gameplay, strategy and values might be different.

That is a very good idea !
I was thinking something like taking over JFK, LHR and DBX with 6 players. In case of DBX I guess there isn't really a need for a regional airline, but rather a narrowbody airline that takes care of everything within 2500 km or so.
Don't forget cargo.. :-)
It might be a very good idea but the team should be built immediately. A new server could start in 4 weeks (after 15th of February) and it is not much time left (if a new gameworld will start soon).
Instead of jfk why not something in the middle of the country like msp,ord,mci or dfw? Might be a good idea to try it out on quimby with whomever you find to get to know one another as suggested above
OK, there seems to be takers :-)
I created an external private forum, it is at globalair.freeforums.net
(The name is purely a work in progress, no innitiative or anything on the naming of the team)
Anyone who is really interested, please register as a member and then let's start planning this.
We have a few signups already, but there is still room for more.
Give it a go, this might be really interesting.
We are working an an exciting plan, but we would welcome a few more committed players to the team.
Have a look !
So you have not even started yet and you are already planning to exit 
We have already started, Rubio. The exit plan is what we have figured out during the last 24 hours of brainstorming and...
No, Kruiseri wanted to write EXISTING plan - which is really interesting for other players as well!
So you have not even started yet and you are already planning to exit :D
LOL, Corrected the typo ;-)
Exciting... existing... not exiting.
:) :) :)
We still need at least one more member to the team.
In case anyone is interested, please check out what we are planning.
I`d be interested in principle but would like to find out a bit more on your plan. I just registered for your forum but cannot see any threads...
Your account will have to be approved first by staff. It will take a couple of hours.
I am interested. I signed up on the forum! Hope you still need some players.
We need all player we could get.
