I love all the low DOP players sinking themselves in a hole saving up for a 737. God bless boeing's marketing and brand name recognition. Makes this even easier.

Is the 732 really worth buying? douglas 9-40 and BAC111 seems quite good too and a bit cheaper

:wink:

10	Pumpkyn Air [OT]	€ 11,177,431

as clearly visible, orange has a low dop since hes a broker and leases mostly, which is part of the monthly income and not dop.

i happily notice that i have overtaken two of the top10 players in dop already, started way late in may since i was on holiday.

"1.8m and the following on order

Are you sure about that? Your revenue in 2 days is only 43.2M. That excludes any costs such as gates, acquiring new gates, fuel and staff. The planes you have listed go for $57M. I don't see how that is mathematically possible unless you somehow used to have a much higher DOP.

That said, why bother with the commuters? You're a small airline and you could buy 2-3 50 passenger planes for what they cost and you also have the money tied up for 2 days. Essentially, if you bought a 50 passenger plane every 8 hours instead of 2 of those, the capital is costing you (8+16+24+32+40) days of productivity in the 50 passenger plane.

As for the Nord Broussards, why not take advantage of the leases around on the caribous or spend the money on the more standard 50 passenger planes. You'll only very soon want to ditch the Broussards later and then you'll have the capital tied up getting planes again.

conclusion:

considering that last year, after ~6 month, 50m dop was already reached, this round indeed seems about 50% slower.
