Airline ID

This is the number the game uses to identify your airline. You need this number when, for example, ordering planes on the forum so other airlines can send the plane to the private used market. Also, when posting bug reports, you need to write down your airline ID. You can find your ID on the Admin Panel.

DOP

Daily Operating Profit, this is the total revenue that your airline earns in a game day or a real world hour. You can find your daily operating profit in the right top corner of every page, just above the navigation bar. Also, navigating to the Finance screen will give you more detailed information on the money you're making.

Slots

A slot is the ability to fly 1 frequency. With every gate rented there are 10 slots made available. So a route can be created with up to 10 slots, or may be 2 routes with any mixture of frequencies that may be less than or equal to 10 in total. Eg: Airline X Created a route from Frankfurt to Paris that goes twice daily, this means 2 slots are used up (In both Paris and Frankfurt) and 8 are left for use. Then Airline X sets up a route from Frankfurt to Rome with 1 frequency, now there are 7 slots left in Frankfurt and 9 in Rome.

Gate

A gate an airport allows an airline to start flights to the airport. Each gate gives 10 slots. At the end of each month the price of each gate is taken out of the airline's account as rent. See Rent Gates
