General Chat / Re: Terminals and ranking

I believe when you make the terminal, you actually lose value, cause you're spending money.
It doesn't directly give you higher value, but it does in saved rental costs.

And, perhaps most importantly, lets you exceed the 25 gate limit for renting.

Are you sure you don't mean to post in the W12 thread?

Yea?  My stats say you're clearing € 35,632,254 a day...  But then again that's eight hours after your post and puffs it with purchases and such. 

I'm at 33.8M which sassimafies me for now.

And we;ve doubled profits since then

It's on the market until someone decides to buy it.
Usually, you shouldn't try to sell your first Aircraft for a while (and CAN'T, if you only have one).

75k DOP might be good or bad depending on where you're based.
There are different ranges depending on which airport it is.

We've now reached two magic numbers:
   
   - €1,000,000,000 + Monthly Operating Profit
   - €47,600,000 DOP, (5 Convairs per day)

EDIT: DOP is now 54 Million.
I'm going to try and get to 850 routes by the end of today

Ok atleast you dont use them on routes that are less than 100miles which some of my competitors are doing.

That's a ridiculous waste of hours... The turn time is probably more than the flight time...
(Dassault Mercures are better though)

Enough with your Dassault Mercures,SE 210 Caravelle Super 10B's are WAAAAY better

Coming from someone who tries for an Airbus fleet at 10 million DOP

Too many aircraft...
I think I'll have to be less picky about getting the exact optimal price.

My DOP is 17.7 million... 
9 Planes coming in today.

I expect to exceed 22 Million DOP by tomorrow morning.
EDIT: Just opened a base at a small airport for fun, it'll be making profit in 12 hours, so w/e

I have hit a wall.  I am @ 4.35mil  I got as high as 5th place  but did not keep up with ordering and didn't realize the differnce in time to get the larger planes.  So now in 7th and expect to drop some more till my planes are up and running in the morning. 

*deleted by dktc: all aircraft sales should be in A-Z Aircraft Market*

For long haul, you'll make 200k-300k per plane, depending on the routes.
But rest assured, you'll lose money on them in the long run...

I'm at about 10 Million.
Tomorrow, I start ordering N.C.211, which will be used at ORD 

(That was actually my plan all along, even before you told me your plan)

Terribly sorry to talk over your business comprehension, but I was just answering a public question.

My DOP is 6.5 Million, with 13 Aerospeed Ambassador things on the way. 

(-In response to your first post-)

Yeah, that's why I established a base at Atlanta, There was no way to keep up with the people at Atlanta/Chicago at LAX...

Anyways, in W12/13, if you're going to be in them, what do you say to starting an Alliance together? I don't think there's a point in anyone starting one in W10, that would be throwing away 10 million...

Na, it's totally doable.  I made a miscalculation that will make this one run down to the wire unless I change something.

The base at Charlotte?
