@ Ali:

I like this VIP idea, sounds like fun.

And there are so many different flight types. The already discussed contreband and humanitarian flights. But also bush-, rescue- or test flight... For each of them some slightly different success factors and rewards would be appropiate. Not sure if Dan wants to extend the concept that far.

Another suggestion; reputation would start out very low, with almost unknown celebrities needed your services. I've been thinking about it all day haha.
Imagine creating a company specifically used to transport VIPs? Economic, strict rules on rank and low reputation. Start out with a Cessna transporting one or two people, then get bigger to say a learjet or fokker and 100% reputation means you're the best in the industry - you've been called upon by the US air force to fly air force one for the president. any feedback would be appreciated. only reason i chose air force one in particular is because it's the only reason i think one would need to fly a large plane to transport celebrities (an excuse to fly a big plane).
if you accepted this offer you'd get the air force one for free. but as mentioned, mistakes result in a lesser reputation or something, as VIPs will expect nothing but the best for the money they pay.

Now, this is not a flight type, rather a specific company career.

Same could be done for a humanitarian organization. Starts with great reputation but is always short of money (so little donations
nowadays) and therefore newly bought aircrafts are always in bad shape.

Consequences:

* Each career comes with different starting paramters
* Flight type can not be decided before each flight
* Information about the progress of each career required (same as "airliner career" pilot ranks)

But most important, it would require some background information associated with flights. (Flying "Air force One" is similar to missions). I
talked about this a few times here, but there there was hardly any feedback.

So, from my understanding to implement your ideas about the "VIP Service" are great but would extend the current concept heavily. I
assume Dan will keep the more generic approach and let the user build the careers in his imagination...

Regards,
Heiko
