"i correct myself: it will be 1/3 as long next time, then 1/4 as long, etc. still a lot better than before. Razz
and you know what, my strategy seems to be working just fine for me, so this conversation is over. Cool"
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.
