General Chat / Leasing - Maintenance
« on: June 13, 2008, 02:38:00 am »
Hey ppl
Why do the owner of the aicraft have to pay the maintenance for an leased out plane? In real life, the operator is responsable for the maintenance...
i have more than 40 planes leased out now, and it turns out this is not really profitable.
I think that should be changed

General Chat / Maintenance Cost
« on: June 13, 2008, 02:33:31 am »
I still dont know if comonality affects the mantainance costs.
If i work only 737-300 will my costs be lower than if i operate 737-300 and A320's for example?
what about operating different versions of planes. like 767-200/ER/300?

at the end, we allways end up losing a lot for mantainance
i think the manteinance fees will be changed because its not really fair as it is. but also keeps big companies from growing TOO fast
for me, 75% of my profit goes for the expenses =/

General Chat / Half Routes vs. Unused Time Left On Planes
« on: June 09, 2008, 02:12:51 pm »Quote from: "Jacko-Smitha"
Longer International Flights i do .5 frequencies as i can reach more international places with the time left over regional,s 1 frequencies as with .5 u lose too much m,oney
same here.
also, as i have more incoming new aircrafts then i have time to alocate them, i rater left hours in one acft and open a new 24h acft than putting 0.5 frequencies.

Some posts here made me reconsider about the high loadfactor. But by the other hand i still think is very weird some airlines mantain 99.5% for such an incredibly long time!
I agree with the big base starting. In this round i started in prage, and my begining bases were all secondary airports such as berlin; as i grew up i started closing this bases and opening bigger bases. That keeped me from growing a lot faster, but at least i realized about this soon. The problem was, i had a 58 F28-4000 fleet by that time (wich were better than the 737 on my secondary bases). But they did not worked well on the new big bases such as madrid - that made me have to wait the incoming fokkers i had bought, to sell them, start buying 737s and reorder my airline. It worked. In one of my bases the 737 proof not to be the best option; i was competing with 767s, A300 and MD-81. Then i started buying 767 along with the 737s;
I also made a huge mistake buying 747 as soon as they were released. My option was for the 747-300 with best engine; a 477 million plane. As they take 200 days to be delivered, i buyed 8 of them in advance, instead of buying only 1 to see if it works. The result: a 380k profit on the first of them, wich was a total disapointment; i had to sell them and the thing is, no one seemed to want it
so i was stucked with 8 state-of-the-art-that-doesnt-work planes for sale, and it took days for them to be selled.
anyway now things are goin normal even though i lost a lot of time and money making mistakes!

Quote from: "fenati2"i insist. that this is no excuse. i also have a big airline, i fly to almost every possible place below 2000nm arround my bases, and im saying is impossible to get 99.5% and mantain it. In europe, from big bases like mine, say frankfurt, madrid, etc, there is NO ROUTE without some competition.Actually, it's damn near impossible for me to do that, since I have no idea how to program.
its not a nonsense, for christ sake. i doubt is too hard for someone who knows programming well to make a greasemonkey script or something.Quote from: "fenati2"No, I don't have to agree. But I don't suck at this game.
you have to at least agree with me that for a big airline to mantain above 90% loadfactor you have to be the entire day editing routes.
?? i dont understand why are you atackin me, i dont even think we are in the same wolrd (im #6) anyway, i also think i dont "suck" because im playing for the first time and im already top 10 on europe

I want the ability to create a world with a lenght of I would say 30 years with half resets (when half the airlines routes and aircraft are wiped off) every 10 years
that would be really cool!
