Registration
To register for the program, you simply must comment on this article. Your registration is active for a total of 4 weeks of payout. You will need to register again for the next 4 weeks as the period comes to a close.
The Program
Each Tuesday the administrators of the program will go through and verify the number of air kills you have made over the past in-game week (Tuesday through Monday, in line with the weekly challenge). Additionally, the administrators will be watching for any rank ups in your air rank throughout each week. You must be registered in the program to receive any rewards.
The program runs in 4 week cycles, with each citizen required to register once for each cycle on the applicable registration article. Each registration article will be widely circulated through national feed, in-game messages, party feeds, military unit feeds, and of course in the country media page as an article.
PAYOUTS HAVE BEEN CHANGED BY A VOTE IN CONGRESS. BELOW ARE THE UPDATED PAYOUTS. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.
Payouts
The payouts for the program are as follows:
Each registered citizen will receive 200 cc for every square root of kills they make in the air.
For example, if you did 1,600 kills in the air in the previous week, you would receive 8,000 cc. If you did 400 kills in the air in the previous week, you would receive 4,000. If you did just a single kill in the air in the previous week, you would receive 200 cc. If you did 3 air kills in the previous week, you would receive 346 cc.
Additionally, each registered citizen is entitled to rank up rewards. Every time a player ranks up (ex. from Squadron Leader to Squadron Leader* ), the player will receive additional compensation for their efforts.
- When a player reaches the rank of Staff Sergeant, they will begin receiving rank up rewards. They will receive 1,000 cc for reaching Staff Sergeant, and 1,000 cc for every star they receive afterwards.
- When a player reaches the rank of Aviator, they will receive 5,000 cc, and receive 5,000 cc for every star thereafter.
- When a player reaches the rank of Flight Lieutenant, they will receive 10,000 cc, and receive 10,000 cc for every star thereafter.
- When a player reaches the rank of Squadron Leader, they will receive 20,000 cc, and receive 20,000 cc for every star thereafter.
- When a player reaches the rank of Chief Master Sergeant, they will receive 30,000 cc, and receive 30,000 cc for every star thereafter.
- When a player reaches the rank of Wing Commander, they will receive 50,000 cc, and receive 50,000 cc for every star thereafter.
- When a player reaches the rank of Group Captain, they will receive 100,000 cc, and receive 100,000 cc for every star thereafter, including for all rank title changes going forward.
This means, for the example above of going from Squadron Leader to Squadron Leader*, you would receive 20,000 cc in addition to whatever cc you are entitled to for the kills you made in the air for the previous week.

PAYOUTS HAVE BEEN UPDATED BY A VOTE IN CONGRESS. PLEASE REVIEW THESE CHANGES.
First is for a bunch of Hot Air!!
i'm in!
Huh, not the one I expected to win somehow, but I'll join again.
Please sign me up.
I'm in for another month. I'm actually surprised that the vote I cast was for the winning changes! Hope to see this new payout scheme attract more noobs.
I don't know about attracting more noob. Noobs don't actually don't get paid more.
These were 2 noobs that joined the Hot Air Program: klop123 and Mr. Bessa, Aviator and Staff Sergeant***** at the time of signing up respectively.
Under the old system, klop123 ranked up 17 times and made 205,000cc ranking up and 79,615cc from kills, for a total of 284,615cc.
Under the new system, klop123 would have made 102,500cc from ranking up and 123,359cc from kills, for a total of 225,859cc.
Under the old system, Mr. Bessa ranked up 17 times and made 180,000cc ranking up and 58,045cc from kills, for a total of 238.045cc.
Under the new system, Mr. Bessa would have made 90,000cc ranking up and 65,853cc from kills, for a total of 155,853cc.
Unless you go through the program without ranking up, you're making less money than you would under the new system.
I was ignoring the rankups. I rarely see those and I fight pretty regularly in air battles.
~hyuu~
I assume this still helps the smaller guys more but im in
I'm in
Thank you

Square roots? I'll have to trust you on that math.
all hail the spreadsheet, the doer of all mathematics
For some clarification on how the payout changes may effect you.
Up until the 400th kill, you are actually making more per kill than under the old payout method (up until and including your 399th kill, you are earning more than 5 cc per kill)
When you do your 1,600th kill in a week, it is at this point that the amount you make in a week is the same under both the old and new system. 1,600 kills under the new system is 8,000 cc. 1,600 kills at 5cc per kill in the old system is 8,000 cc. If you do less than 1,600 kills per week, you will now be earning more money on a weekly basis for kills
I'm personally not keen on the changes. It's cost cutting, we didn't need.
Sign me up, I'll try it for a month at the new rate.

I thought it was more or less cost neutral with lower tier players getting paid more.
it would be cost neutral, or perhaps even cost increasing, if the rank up bonuses had not been cut in half from their previous levels
[removed]
We should really amend that then. Like right away. Seems unfair to wait a month for those who rank up this month. We were not trying to save money. It is not like we have to follow any rules.
You are a member of congress, propose that for an immediate change. 🙂

I'll give it a go as well.
Rank up bonuses cut in half, but I'm in!
😲
Can we get all eCanadians in? 🙂
+1 eCanadian
I'm in
The square root of me is in
I'm in
I'M in!
Bomb - ish time 😃
Sign me up
There's always room for hot air
I'm in till I'm dead or you find someone better!
*makes airplane sounds*
Yo!
Pew pew
I would add to participate you must endorse. That way we can see quickly who is in without scrolling through comments and it helps defray costs. That's why I endorse. To give a little back. 😁😎
I´m in 🙂

I'm in
I'm back.
i'm gonna try it.
Please sign me up.
Does it mean there won't be any max payment for the number of kills?
That is correct, there is no cap on the payout for the number of kills done in a week.
However, to reach the previous cap of 25k under the new system of payout, you would need to complete more than 15,000 kills in a week. More than 3x the number required in the previous payout system
Let's see how this works out.
Okay so based on the discussion in the Hot Air program article linked below it has come to my attention the new program will actually save money.
I assumed the halfling the bonus was needed to keep the new system cost neutral. This is not the case.

We don't need to save money. We don't need to cut the bonus. I think it would be unfair to people who rank up this month to wait another month to restore the bonus.
I propose we restore the bonus to its previous level effective immediately.
I'm sure most of us that voted for the change thought the bonus and the new payment system were linked to keep the cost the same. It was not. Let's correct it.
great, post this in congress message thread 😉
Sign me you. Cannot say no to easy money 😛
