[w10] the random thoughts while playing thread

[AASuper80Fan]

1. A certaint Airline ordering 90+ AeroStar 19 Seaters
2. $1 Routes those drive me nuts
3. Why the F100 doesn't have a longer range....
4. Why would anyone want to buy a 747-400D it is a Boat Anchor, give me Double Daily 777-200 service anyday.
5. Why would a certaint Airline order 767-300's and use them only Domestically and no International.   I personally have a 767-300 and use it for one Domestic Trip just to burn off Spare Time after my ORD-LGW trip.
6. The CRJ1/200's are POS.

[LOT 737-300]

If you want a version of the AN-28 that can fly further than the older Soviet design, look at the Polish version (still being produced btw.), the PZL M-28 Skytruck. The Illustrated Dictionary of Modern Commercial Aircraft by Gunter Endres states it can fly 765nm with a typical payload. Wiki shows a similar number for the Skytruck.

AM shows 847mi

847mi in nautical miles is about 736nm. We do use different sources for the numbers though, so it's very likely we'll end up with different numbers. I'm just going with what I had available in front of me. But it is somewhere around it, the only way we'd possibly know for sure is to give PZL a little call about it.

Agree. I was just giving the info in the game.

(1) Some crazy player has already bought a 747-400!  I think it must be a relatively new player who does not know how expensive it is to run...
(2) Someone is flying 10x daily on the MUC-FRA route using a small 40 seater plane (can't remember which model it is) They are also flying 5+ frequencies to all of their other destinations....

Those are the only random thoughts I have right now, I'll probably have some more later

I just sold 13 or so airbus A320s so fast after posting them on the used market that the game still hasn't sent me aircraft sale messages.

I would have bought those!

The game still hasn't sent me sales messages.  I have no idea who bought them.  But they were not on the used market for more than 15 seconds before they were all gone.

Yea I'd rather buy 3 Boeing 767-300ER's vs. 1 Boeing 747-400 any day of the week.
2. Only use 1 Frequency or 1.5 at the very max...

[Virgin Serbia]

1. Should i buy ATR-72-200, or should i wait for the ATR-72-500?

2. Should i settle for ATR or should i replace them with Dash-8 Q400s when they arrive?

3. Boeing 737NG or A32X...

[cyon20]

Why did this airline put on 1 route, almost 10 different planes with many frequencies??? Must be new.

Should I get the A321 or B757?

Why do you keep buying 10 more planes right after you recieve 10 planes?

Shoot! There's no more gates at Atlanta!

Should I make my foreign hub last to open?

Where can I have my hub at on the mid-western side of the US?

1. Depends if you need range. If you want to fly inside the US, the A321 is the best. If you are planing trans-atlantic, the 757 is best.

2. Yes, if you can afford it and use them.

3. I dont think its worth building a foreign hub, unless its close to your home continent. Try Central America, but not any further... (thats where an A321 can get to)

my foreign hub is going to be in Europe. But lets get back to this topic so we dont get it locked.

Thinking of

1. A320 vs A321

and

2. A333 vs B763ER

[pseudoswede]

Owning a 100k fortress hub is not as lucrative as I thought it might be. Then again, I haven't put too much effort into it (yet).

Who keeps on changing their prices???
