I didn't search the logs, so maybe this has been discussed before, but I just wanted to commend Sami for the way the automatic aircraft brokers operate.  I am assuming this is deliberately modeled rather than just random?  I've been noticing for some time how the price of an a/c type jumps considerably the next time it shows up in the used market after someone (ie me) just bought one within a few seconds of it becoming available.  For planes that take a long time to move, however, subsequent ones are priced more modestly.  As this is exactly as it should be (its economics 101), I'm impressed with the programming (although, I do admit, a little frustrated for my airlines  :'( ).
