I would like to first know the largest and the smallest planes in the AM database. Then, you go from the smallest to the largest saying each plane that is recommended to replace the previous plane. This will help reduce the "What Place Should I Replace This With" topics.
For example:
Boeing 737-100-->Boeing 737-500-->Boeing 737-900-->Airbus A330-->Airbus A340
Boeing 737-200-->Boeing 737-600--> Airbus A300-->Airbus A310-->Airbus A320-->Airbus A330
Boeing 737-300-->Boeing 737-700--> Airbus A310-->Airbus A320-->Airbus A330-->Airbus A340
Boeing 737-400-->Boeing 737-800--> Airbus A320-->Airbus A330-->Airbus A340
Boeing 737-500-->Boeing 737-900--> Airbus A330-->Airbus A340
Boeing 737-600-->Airbus A300--> Airbus A310--> Airbus A320-->Airbus A330-->Airbus A340
Boeing 737-700-->Airbus A310--> Airbus A320--> Airbus A330-->Airbus A340
Boeing 737-800-->Airbus A320--> Airbus A330--> Airbus A340
Boeing 737-900-->Airbus A330--> Airbus A340

I think you've got the Airbus planes confused. The A320 series are much smaller than the A310's which in turn are smaller than the A300's. Other than that I think you've got a nice idea here. ;)
-
737-900---757-200----767-300---A330/777
Thats how i see it :D
-
Smith 46-C -> SE VI-*sth* -> SE10B -> SE12 -> B-722/Tu-114
Thats how I play in 60/70s round.
For 90s, I'll go for:
ATR-72 / BAe J-61 / F-70 -> F-100 -> B-733/A-319 -> A-320/A-321
-
In 60's is better way
for short routes
HS748E - SE-210 10B - B737 or DC9-30/40 or BAC 111-500
for middle routes
HS121 1E - HS121 1E-104 or B727-100/200
for short long haul routes
IL-18D - Convair 880 or Vickers Super VC10
-
The way i play, whatever i want :D

I don't care! This is just an EXAMPLE - not and actual replacement plan! :roll:
-
As 4 mid-ranged routes in 60-70s, (e.g. EWR - DFW)
Starting from Smith 46-C -> BAC-111-500 -> Tu-114
Long hauls: (HKG - LAX)
L-1649A Starliner-> Tu-114D / IL-62

Please notice the wink in my post. It signifies that I was just kidding with you. Not every reply has to be serious you know.

Convair 440/Fokker F27-200 -> Tupolev Tu-124
Working quite nicely for me in PW465.
Tupolev Tu-104V -> Boeing 737-200.

I'm in 1998. Can you help me sort this problem out ?
737-500> ?
F70> ?
-
737-300 or -500>>>>737-700HGW
f70>>>>737-700HGW
i'm in PW460 and i replaced mostly all of my planes CRJs and all with 737-700HGWs and they are fantastic. I think i have like 160 of them...
-
I think A-319 is better than B-737-700HGW, unless youre another anti-airbus guy ???
I'ld say:
F-70->F-100
737-500 -> A-319
Heres a chart to comapre both planes (One with underscore is better than the other one)
.......... B-737-700HGW........... A-319............
Seats 149 145
Speed 449kts 452kts
Range 3751nm 2086nm/4254nm* <-Theres no winner or looser in range..
Fuel Usage 723gal/h 703-723 gal/hour^
Price €66,921,717 €47,869,127/€59,278,945*
*There are two varients, one with less range and one with more. The shorter range one has 2086nm and costs €47,869,127. The longer range one has 4254nm and costs €59,278,945.
^ There are six engine varients for A-319.
1. CFM International CFM56-5A4, 2086nm, 707gal/h
2. IAE V2252-A5, 2086nm, 703gal/h
3. CFM International CFM56-5B5, 2086nm, 706gal/h
4. CFM International CFM56-5A5, 4254nm, 723gal/h
5. CFM International CFM56-5B6, 4254nm, 721gal/h
6. IAE V2524-A5, 4254nm, 716gal/h

I have to agree with you !
A319 is way better than the 737-700HGW.
Anyways, I am now obsessed because I ordered like an idiot two 777-300s (not even ER..) to operate from Madrid and not recieved them yet ( It was a misstake ! Don't do it ! I hope they will at least bring me profit.. ) and now I don't have enough money to replace the 15 A320s that are 6.7 y/o with the A321 wich I found the best choice.
-
If you want to make profit on the 777s, sell them. There will usually be someone willing to buy a 777 at normal price (or maybe even a little markup), to avoid the long building time.
If you have a big enough airline, you could just fly them for the fun of it, and take the losses.

It is curious.
I"m in 1969 in my World and i realize that the most profitable aircrafts are: Bac 1-11-200 and Dc-9-30.
About DC-9 X 737-100/200, the 737 consumes a lot of more fuel than the DC-9 and, in my case with Focus cities in Europe, the Range in 737 is not so useful(and also, the speed is bigger in DC-9(wich is very useful in European flights.
About the 1-11, i use him in US bases, because of the 89 seat, the big range and comparable fuel consumption with the DC-9(and a good price - 37 million x 51 million of the DC-9).
Just one big doubt i have: How many years should i let an aircraft flying in my company? About 4-5 years is the maximum time until i retire my aircrafts.
I saw some of my competitors still using Comet 4B, C and TU-104(wich are more expensive to but and to maintain - with a musch bigger fuel consume).
In my first world in AM, in the end of 2007, i realize that make a default in the fleet of my airline have been very useful, but i didn't retire my aircraft fleet so... the mainteinance costs became so higher that i started to losing money every end of month.
Best luck for all!

For intercontinental flights i started using the Douglas DC-8 series -62 and, later, i joined some IL-62 to use in routes with more than 6000nm.
I Didn't think that aircrafts with more than 200 seats have a good profit, because we have to low the fare to much and the price of them is much bigger, ex: compared to a Dc-8-62, a 747-100 is 2 times more expensive.
