Perhaps you can post here and ask what you're doing wrong. ;)

Title: Boeing 747
Post by: SeaBlue Pacific Air on January 12, 2008, 03:20:10 am: my 30 million worth plane gives me an average of about 450k dop. since this plane is worth more than 10x my 30 million plane, i'm also expecting 10x the dop. otherwise, it's not worth it.

It does carry 4x the passengers, although as you fly more passengers in the route you end up with a lower price per passenger. You would need to get roughly 2.x the price per ticket per mile on a 742 to get the same economic return. That's excluding what you would have made had you ordered 10 737's and had them for two days while this was being built. You will also end up leasing a gate just for this and not using it for anything else at your destination.

Post by: bibi974 on January 12, 2008, 07:15:59 pm: except that a 747 can fly routes a 737 cannot. Once you have reach all routes within the range of small/medium planes, you re well forced to buy larger planes aren't you?

I have a dc940 having a 600k dop and a plane worth 80M doing only 250k... it's just that my dc940 can't fly the route so

There are plenty of cheaper planes that fulfill almost any range you need (except for the 7899-8079mi zone). In addition, with the changes to the DOP/LF algorithms, flying a 747 from anything except a 350k airport to another 350k (and maybe 300k) airport is overkill.
