Game Strategy / Can someone with experience take a look at my airline
« on: November 26, 2013, 12:56:33 am »Our game started in 1967 an it is now January 1968. I've got some planes from 1967 still but not very many.
Added 30 Boeing 737-200's to my fleet yesterday. Increased my DOC by 9% after routing them (keep in mind I didn't rent any new gates, they were gates already in use from other hubs). Today after the month changed over I look at my new finance report and see that my monthly revenue is only up 2%, monthly costs are up 12% and monthly profit is down 1%. Maintenance jumped 25% too. Need to reevaluate my strategy before doing anything else.
Only thing I can think of that hurt me besides the jump in maintenance is the routes I setup. I'm trying to stay away from long haul flights as long as possible because I've read that long haul is hardly profitable. All the routes I setup yesterday were <2000 miles though, I didn't really consider them long hauls.
Can anyone offer some insight as to why my profits tanked after those changes?
