Exactly, by them in bulk, and sell or lease them to noobs. Thats the only smart way to opperate with them.

Theres only two reasons you should have one of these in your fleet.
A. Your a noob.
B. To screw over or compete with a noob.

I put the A300 in China and I think they are not bad, the profit is acceptable, just slightly lower than the 732s.

But they cost a lot more- and that makes them unprofitable in comparison!

You put it on a route, with tickets going for at least €1. Thats not the same as having a profit though... :twisted:

So you replaced an aicraft that worked ''not bad'' by your own standards, with a more expensive, less fuel effieciant altenative, and as a result the performance is less, albeit marginaly less than your previous aircraft, the lowly 732. Granted you are pushing more passengers, but passengers alone are by no means a measure of success. Anyone looking at daily passengers as an indicator of profitability is looking at the wrong numbers. Looking at Daily profit can also be misleading, as you must also factor in maintenance and fuel costs, which will cost you come the first of the month.

I will never touch the A300.

Less money in a money-losing company. Just purchased another Douglas 7C for my fleet..

Sanosuke!

...

That the same DC-7C which just undercut my A300 by a $1?

Very efficient aircraft to be able to do that.

I Purchased Around 10 Of These Aircraft & Consequently Have Moved Up Down One Space Into 15th Ranking In Europe. They Vary Rareley Make A Profit As They Have So Many Seats The Fares Are To Cheap To Cover The Expense OF StaffEtc. Larger/Mid Airlines I Would Deffinitley Reccomend Swopping Older Smaller Aircraft Of Your Least Profitable Routes For Boeing 737-200ADV. Or Carvelle 12S They Are Much More Profitable And More Worthwhile As Well As Being Very Cheap ! Happy Moguling

Thats a lesson we all have to learn. the A300 looks great on paper, but works terrible in this games mathematics. BTW your free to start MAN-CAI services, but please use a sensible plane with sensible frequencys.

Ill start selling mine off sooner or later, thankfully I havent been forced to use most of them yet.

For a case in point, look at buisy routes in places like w 4 or 6, then look at w3s before the A300. Narrowbodies are the way to go. BTW your free to start MAN-CAI services, but please use a sensible plane with sensible frequencys. TU-154s or 727ADVs work wonders. There is no need for any larger aircraft within thier range bracket.

I gotta say, I'm happy with the few that I have, but they are pretty mission specific, and the last few that I bought were specifically to compete with others. Right now I have one just sitting in the hangar.
