This truly is baffling. Bafflingly amazing, actually... So far I've found - Their employee/staff portal (!) - Careers site with job listings - Social media/PR accounts - Seasonal/special holiday schedules and timetables - Terms and conditions, terms of carriage - Corporate page - Aircraft inventories - Fiscal/financial results, stock tickers (?!) - Corporate communications/news center/investor relations Truly incredible

My kid was involved with a Roblox airline, not this one. He just 'retired' as a C-level executive so he could go off to college. He still consults to the group. All of the above list, including entire airports and in-flight entertainment in the seatbacks.

  If you build a sandbox, and populate it with kids, they will do the things kids do -- mimic things they see adults doing. And so, invariably they build job simulators: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uq0orHycjHI&t=12m41s https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uq0orHycjHI&t=12m41s Or just, you know, entire (pyramid scheme) corporations: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hE6jxjKPNZQ&t=6m35s https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hE6jxjKPNZQ&t=6m35s

      Do you live in a city without panhandlers?

    I found the whole thing really interesting. With the in-game economy they were doing things like subcontracting to vendors (writing Lua code, making 3D models, selling entire aircraft to each other), selling shares to investors, and distributing dividends.

      This reminds me of Warcraft. I got this PDF listing which products were cheaper to buy from vendors than the auction house, and I set up a small network of toons who would mail each other these products and auction them. (The products were either all fish or mostly fish.) I think you could have five characters total, so I had a little price triage cartel specializing in fish, made up of four characters, who all operated for the benefit of the fifth character, the one I actually played the game with. It worked beautifully up to about level 45 or 50, after which it didn't scale any further.
