Expert Advise on Strategy, Please ?
Kastor:
Thank you guys for the advice. I can not see the route image in the demo game, so I can only relay on company image and this one grown up to 52 over night, and my money dropped to -3,6 mln. I thought the time would work for me, so I decided to postpone some suggested decisions to the morning, that is now, but when I woke up I see that situation is very bad, I have no move on changing the aircraft (to terminate lease it cost overs 3 mln if I wanted to get rid of 707) so it must fly. I can't either buy one due to heavy debt.
the only good route I have is JFK-ORD which I make LF 70% on and it earns good money for me, but 707 eats all that and much more.
Aware of that all and all the mistakes I made, I decide to declare the bancrupcy and start over taking all your advice regarding choice of aircraft into considerations to make more successful airline. I will have possibility to try different strategies before I start a full game, now I can just sit and look :(.
Dazwalsh:
yeah just dont pick up the 707 again, haha go for a 737-300 or if you want something bigger i suggest a 757/767, far more fuel efficient and maintenance costs are also way way lower
Kastor:
Yeah I know now, thanks a lot Dazwalsh :)
Previously I made that mistake that didn't look at the fuel consumption at all !!
Jps:
One thing that could have helped you, might have been to change the aircrafts flying the route, so put the 707 on the JFK-LAX route, which already has a good route image, and then the other aircraft to the route the 707 was flying before. of course, it's be even better, if you could have both aircraft slying the same routes, so you'd get the route image up faster (but, this is only, if the demand of that route is more than the capacity of those planes).
