Here's a question Ack-Ack. What would YOU do if HTC only had the EW arena open for a day? Quit the game? Not fly?? Complain because you can't have your uber ride?? Or get up in the air with an early war plane and go kill something??
If there wasn't a plane in the EW plane set that didn't interest me, I wouldn't play.
What if you logged in one day and all the arenas were open but the EW arena had the highest number of people in it. Where would you go and fly?
Do what I do know when I log in and see the LW arenas with the greater population number, I go to the MW arena as that's the arena I prefer to play in.
Do you honestly think there would be a mass exodus of people from AHII and HTC would end up loosing a bunch of revenue if they shut down the LW arenas once a month? I seriously doubt it.
Mass exodus? No but don't kid yourself if you think there won't be number of people that will quit if they cannot access the arena or planes they pay to fly in. And on those days when these are held, you'll probably also see a sharp decline in players logging in during this time only to log back in when the arena setups are back to normal.
Personaly I like the idea of 1 day a month shutting down the LW arenas, because honestly I think the ONLY people that would complain are the same group of people that constantly complain about ENY, HO's, the collison model, perk the LA7, and those folks that constantly want to shoot down ideas pertaining to early war rides because they'll only be hanger queens.
If you like this idea then all the power to you but you will be among the minority. The majority of the community has repeatedly voiced their opinion about this, otherwise the EW and MW arenas would have a far greater population than they have now.
As for your ASSumption that my opposition to this idea is stemmed from as you put it, "the ONLY people that would complain are the same group of people that constantly complain about ENY, HO's, the collison model, perk the LA7, and those folks that constantly want to shoot down ideas pertaining to early war rides because they'll only be hanger queens" is incorrect in this case.
My opposition to this idea is the thought of forcing someone to play in a way or fly in a way someone else wants them to. Just because you and some others want the EW planes flown more, doesn't mean you have to force others into doing the same. If you really want to have the population increase in the EW or MW arenas, add more planes for those time lines.
I would rather fly early war or mid war but the reason I don't IS because the numbers are so low in there. I want to fly were everyone else is flying, the ride doesn't matter to me.
That's too bad that you limit yourself in that way, you know flying in the hord. I myself prefer the lower population number of the MW arena, more 1v1s and quality fights. Which is why it's basically the only arena I fly in now with my trusty P-38J.
HiTech if you ever read this thread, you should give this idea a try sometime. If anyone cancels their account because of it I'll pay for their last months subscription provided they are NEVER allowed to return. 
I'm sure he has read this thread and like the others that have proceeded it, promptly forgot it.
ack-ack
