Title: Too many planes?
Post by: Lord Voldemort on June 23, 2008, 05:22:47 pm

Have any of you order a lot of planes, to find that later on you were too lazy to make the routes?
This happens to me a lot, typically I don't make routes for planes 2-3 (game) months after they're built.
Right not I have around 15 Boeing 737s sitting around with 24 hours left

Any of you?

Oh, yes. :?

Why do you think I usually flood the market the way I do? When ordering you're full of good intentions but when the planes arrive... it's just too much.

I should have learned to never order more than 10 a/c per hour. Probably less. However I have a very small "window" in the day when I have the time to deploy them. So I order the planes I think I need, sometimes in the hundreds. Then I get so many sitting idle that I just can't bear to start using them.

I'm with mg35pt on this one.

I must have over 200 planes sitting on the ground in W3, with at least another 100 currently on routes, but with over 12 hours time remaining on them.

I have the same with the F27-100. I ordered a lot of them just before they were withdrawn, and now some of them are just waiting to be put on routes.  :lol:

Listen, if any of you guys want to get a load of stress off your back and sell me those planes for half price, I'd be glad to be of service. I hate to see you guys stressed out like this.  :wink:

Yeah.  Some of us are always willing to look out for reasonable lease rates on jets. :lol:   But there's someone in W8 hoping to get $25 million a month for a 737... :roll:  I guess they can always dream...
