Title: Decisions, Decisions
Post by: AirbusGuy350 on February 05, 2011, 06:26:12 pm
So in private world 1757 I had a huge airline by my standards and costs caught up with me so I decided to restructure. I closed all routes and I am in the process of selling/scrapping all my aircraft. Now the decisions for my new fleet that will be based in Boston. I have two fleet plans in thought. It is 2003 so the ERJ-190 and CRJ-900 won't be released for another 1 and 2 years respectively. Keep in mind that I am trying to buy from as few manufacturers as possible.
Fleet Plan 1: Regional - ERJ-145ER, ERJ-170, ERJ-190 Medium - A320, A321 Long Haul - A332, A333
Fleet Plan 2: Regional - CRJ-200, CRJ-701, CRJ-900 Medium - A319, A320, A321 Long Haul, A332, A333
Please leave comments and info on what I should buy and why.

ERJ's are more economical (cheaper, faster and more seats)
CRJ's are out before ERJ's.
It's your call ;)

That still seems like a lot of planes. I would narrow it down to one type of plane for each route. When i last played a normal pw world game i used like A321-200 for all routes to 1 million pax airports and above ERJ-190 for all routes from 1m pax to 500K pax ERJ-170LR for all routes from 500Kpax to 100K pax
This of course is dependent upon where you are located.

I tend to run things like this 1 million and above = A320, DC9, MD80, or 737 families (depending on the time period and my mood) 500k to 1 million = Fokker 28/70/100 or CRJ700/900 or E190 (again depending on time period) 500k and below = I like the Dash8 series for this sometimes I will use the Embrear 120. Although Ive used ERJ-135 a few times.
