I don't understand the profit calculation...

[RB211TriStar]

According to my balance sheet, roughly 42% of my income from ticket sales is profit... meaning if I sold $100 in tickets, $58 goes to expenses and $42 goes to my bank account.

So how come under the airline statistics tab, it shows me as having -15% profit? If that were the case, I would be losing money out of my bank account. That would mean I would have to cover $15 fo every $100 sold to cover my operating costs...   Instead, I'm adding money daily.

What am I missing about this calculation/Statistic? Thanks!

The time period you are comparing is probably not the same. The stats covered last 4 weeks if my memory does not fail me here.

Understood... but I haven't posted a loss in nearly 4 months... and that was simply the result of an aircraft purchase. Is there any way for you to take a look? I just can't get my hands around it. Thanks!
