Staffing... bit odd
Maarten Otto:
Hi,
I have 1 AC and 2 on order... but more then 90 pilots... I didn't hire them... But the game makes my company (Which I just started) to turn in the red even within the first week of operations.
Please Sami... can you tell me what' on aerth is happening.
sami:
The planes in pre-delivery state count into staff requirements, IF you have already routes scheduled for them. As otherwise you'd find your company lacking staff when the planes are actually delivered (in the middle of the night of course) ;) Consider that as mandatory company training for the new employees...
And I bet they are some large(ish) planes, perhaps even with 3 pilots needed (?) per each plane.
Maarten Otto:
I can not believe that in real life a company with 3 aircrafts would need 91 pilots. Even if those planes would require 3 pilots. That makes 3 pilots per AC per 8 hours. So 9 pilots per day. Do that times the number of AC in the company and you get 27. Ofcourse some need a few days off... so you would need something between 36 and 40 pilots in totall... thats a more realistic figure than 91.
3 pilots per 8 hour shift = 9 per day per aircraft. I have 3 AC's so 9x 3 = 27 per day. Lets say those pilots would work an average of 4 days a week (full time and Part time) needed is 36 to 40 in totall for 3 AC.
Same aplies to trolly-dolly with Apple juice and bloody expansive crisps ;)
Brad B:
well there are no part time pilots in real life so you can't count a part time pilot, I mean at the airlines
Maarten Otto:
Perfect, that would lower the numbers required even more.
