To Start, Why should it be more commonly available?
-
The people who would benefit the most from doing this job are easily new players who need a plane after acquiring the jet engine license and having spent enough time on a narrow-body such as the 737. They likely are not getting to do this as it is so infrequently available that the ways to get around it are either continuously server-hopping, or just waiting for it to randomly pop up, which takes hours that most people do not have.
-
At the moment, the 787-8 serves as as an item traders can sell for high value, in a litany of items they can sell for a high value, such as the Kanamoris or rare craftables such as the SR-71 Blackbird. Unlike the Kanamoris, the 787-8 is available outside of events, and requires a lot of effort to acquire, like a craftable plane. However, unlike craftables, the -8 has no “perk” that makes it “unique” (Antonov A-40) or “better” (Dreamlifter). It isn’t even like a fighter jet, where it’s a leisure item with niche jobs that can provide fun, because there are other planes that outperform the -8 and are easier to get.
-
It makes very little sense to have the -8 be so rare when the rest of the 787 family is easier to acquire. Players specifically looking for a 787-8 have to put up with a lot of hurdles or alternatively have to pay a disproportionate amount of money for it, which isn’t in line with the rest of the 787s, let alone airliners in the game.
-
Other jobs of this rarity at the very least have a HUGE WP reward compared to the -8, or are far more time consuming like surveillance.
How common should the job be?
I believe it should be as common as the Airshow jobs commonly available across a variety of cities, since both are region-specific and are best suited for a select few types of games. You can debate me on that though
