By the time the terminal is finished with it's initial construction, I can schedual the first few flights (somewhere between 3-5 planes per day) and hire the remaining staff just as the first busfull of passengers arrives. With a bit more effort I could probably plan out the entire starting terminal before construction begins, so all I need to do is que up work orders in places where construction overlaps as it is completed.

I've got it down to where I can pre-plan big objects like runway, taxiways, the first gate and fencing before I hire the staff member. I place down everything I can, and then hire the staff to start working immediately after being plopped down.
It is easier with the smaller gate, but completely doable if you keep a keen eye on your starting funds.ĭuring the initial construction I only have a single staff member, one workman who builds everything from the ground up at $15 per hour. My current runthrough is even allowing me to accomodate a 777 as my very first flight. My starting terminals are usually about half the square footage of the template terminal. The trick is to start TINY and cram everything togeather in a small space while having enough to deal with all of the passengers. I have done atleast five scratch starts that have been successful, even using the XL gate, all on the biggest map size. A link to the version posted in the Guides area:
