I have a question concerning maintenance fees, I recently purchased 30 747-200s and noticed that my monthly maintenance fees were around $450,000,000 before purchasing these planes, after purchasing these planes and putting them into service my monthly maintenance fees went up to $1,006,000,000. So that equals roughly $550,000,000 increase in maintenance fees for 30 planes which means that every 747-200 that I own is costing me around $18,333,333 million a month which means each plane has to make $763,888 a day to break even!!!!! This seems a bit ridiculous, and now I’m stuck with 29 B747-200 (sold one) that end up making me loose roughly $800,000,000 a game month (1 day R/L).

Can anyone explain? Maybe an admin can verify that nothing is wrong here?

Any comments are appreciated

The 747 is a high value aircraft, as a result the maintenance would be through the roof on the things. AM is really more geared to aircraft in the 100-150 seat category.

I don't have any, and I don't intend to ever.  I got 727's and 720's, and they do just fine for me.

Those boeings were the things that sent me crashing through the floor in W6
Was technically the 4th biggest airline in Australasia before the massive profit drop

I know, and I was restating that I think the 720's and 727's are better :lol:
