General Chat / What the heck is going on with my maintenance fees??
« on: September 17, 2010, 05:40:45 am »
I'm in PW #452, BizAir Canada.
Can someone explain this to me?
My maintenance fees yesterday (or last game month) were about $127M, my fleet age was around 6.4 years. I had about 150 total planes, about 20 of which were on order or not operating.
Now here are the changes I made: Placed an order for 12 new Lockheed R6V Constitutions (game year is 1966), swapped in 12 new Douglas DC-6Bs and retired the old ones, which brought my fleet age down to 5.8. I also placed 8 of my new R6V Constitutions (delivered a few game months ago) into service, creating long-haul routes for them. So I currently have 14 planes on order, and the remaining 132 of my fleet are in active service.
As of the beginning of the current game month, my maintenance fees are now $440M!! Why the big jump? Can anyone explain to me what could have caused this, or how the maintenance fee system works?
