Hey folks,
Finally there is an other platform we can spend endless hours of aviation fantasies.
Iphone has a new application "Air Tycoon". There is a free version which is pretty good, $2.99 version has some more nuts and bolts.
The premise is familiar. You start a hub and play against 3 computer airlines on a turn base.
One drawback, they don't have the rights to use the real plane names, so no 747s, 319s;
so the DC-10 is SB-350, 747 is called AJ-700.
Still, hours of fun playing an airline mogul flying cross country.
Have fun!

It is indeed a fun game. I have two complaints:
- Adding/removing/replacing an aircraft on a given route isn't very intuitive
- After you open a route, there is no longer any way to see the estimated number of potential travelers on that route.
After hours of playing finally figured that out;
-Go to routes and find the route "in red" that needs a plane
-If you have extra planes that are not being used, you will see a right arrow next to "type of plane"
-By clicking that arrow you can choose the type you want for the route
-After choosing your type, don't forget to adjust the frequency.
