€9,318,452

as of this moment.

Got to 2 longrange IL-62's on order to see how the longrange market works. If they get on ok return I will add more longrange planes otherwise I will stay at short and medium haul.

its exponential. i waited forever to get a 737, now i have to wait only half as long, next time 1/4 as long, etc.

and still, the plane is the wrong choice
(apart from the whole math issue pointed out by others, which is also "not as true as you make it out" ;( )

i correct myself: it will be 1/3 as long next time, then 1/4 as long, etc. still a lot better than before.

and you know what, my strategy seems to be working just fine for me, so this conversation is over.

Believe me, if you have a couple of goodrunning F28's or vfw's or Caravelle 12's they can all do more than 200.000 euros if planned carefully. My highest F28 is running 450k and my highest caravelle 500k ..... I cannot see the longrange planes making more than that per day, but if they equal that I will add a few more. But we will see .....

2M with "a couple" of B737 leased in? Thats not much I think...

14.7m without 737-x00's.

Funny how people go for the aircraft with the name

Well the game is so easy that anyone on here can have a positive DOP. Even people who play strategies that are highly less than optimal can do well. In this case, as I pointed out very conservatively, your decision cost you $45M and your DOP is 1/2 what it would be otherwise, not including the planes that you could have bought/leased. I guess there is a reason why some of us wake up in the morning and have to figure out what to do with half a billion of capital and then others waste capital by tying it up in some emotional quest for a brand name plane.
