DOP is just the profit from your flight (ie. ticket - fuel). You still have to pay rent, lease, salary, and maintenance, which could be a huge amount in total if you don't keep track of them.

This is not a bug. You just need to know what DOP means.

DOP = ticket rev - staff exp - fuel exp at the moment.

Next age. DOP = ticket rev + misc rev (in flight food/drink) - fuel exp - staff exp.

But yeah. heavy leases, many gates are the two most probable causes of losses.

Still... how on earth do you get a loss of 64 mil with a DOP of 3mil??? How many of your planes actually fly routes???
