Why does EVERYONE have to make a post saying they're back? Start posting and we'll notice you're back.

Haha! All you suckers having winter! It's warm here!
It's been averaging around 20-22 Degrees C here (68-71 degrees F) for the last few weeks, and due to get warmer. Lovely.
It never, ever snows in Wellington. We have the odd heavy hail shower but that's it. It would never get below freezing here either.

Realistic:
Good weather so we can use our new pool at our holiday house
Being able to get into a club a few more times (Saturday was a goooooooood night. Sunday? Not so much.)
The Dash 8 at work to be in the hangar for another week so I can work longer and double the $700 I've so far earned
Awesome times with mates all summer!

Material things just don't seem that important to me at the moment. Strange..

We could change the subject from nails to how fantastic booze is? I've gotta say the Blenheim nightlife isn't quite Wellington standard!

Game Strategy / Re: The Most Profitable Aircraft in AM

« on: November 22, 2008, 10:58:56 pm »

If you mean a profit/cost ratio, then one of the 70-pax turbo props are probably at the top of the list. The most profitable jet is probably the F70.

No F70 most profitable jet is Tu-334-100 with 102 pax capacity and low fuel usage. 

Who cares about fuel usage? It doesn't matter. What about capital cost?

« on: November 21, 2008, 11:21:03 pm »

Ok, what about these.

A310-200 or 767-200?

Neither. Use the 767-300ER/ 777-200/-200LR/-200ER

But remember you'l get crappy profits with any big plane.

Agreed, but it's fun having massive long haul fleets with flights to everywhere. I always go with the 777s because they are my favourite long haul AC

Yep same, I just have them for the novelty value

737-400. It is a 737, and it must be either a -400, -800 or -900 with that tailskid. If it's a BBJ 2 or 3 then 737-800 or -900 would technically be correct. I'm positive it's a 737.
