Speed and Range vs. Capacity

[Osprey]

In my current planning, early on I see myself buying either one of two planes to run transcon routes:

Fairchild-Hiller FH-227B--56 seats--255MPH--2678mi--~$11 mil
Gulfstream II--19 seats--508MPH--3450mi--~$12 mil

My question now is which will make more money for transcon routes, the Gulf(1 mil more expensive) which has fewer seats but greater range and speed or the FH-227B(1 mil less than Gulf) with more seats but less range and 250MPH slower?

While I still plan to do the guess and test with these 2 planes, which one do you guys think will make me the most money?

where do you base and where do you want to fly to.....

Really...don't bother with Transcons until you have a nice shorthaul network.

You can run shorthauls with cheaper planes than those and actually make more cash!

This has always been my plan of attack in this game, but I always seem to get in on the transcon network from my first hub too late.

Let the idiots who jump too early lose potential money. :twisted:  Being a late joiner is a good thing.

go for the shorthauler!

its worthless if it can go far but carry nothing.  buy the short haul!

Unless you're based in Africa or Australiasia (or Hawaii), is it correct to assume...

Capacity > Speed >> Range ?
