140 PAX Demand over the atlantic worth it?

[GEnx]

Yes I owned them... leased would not be effective.

Exactly.

[Pilot Oatmeal]

so.... in your opinion after i make enough money to purchase the 737-700ER and schedule them right, it would be better than having a tech stop on my Embraer fleet?

[GEnx]

Eventually, yes. The routes are much shorter without the stop so firstly, you'll be able to fit more flights in the schedule, and secondly, your load factors are generally higher. But this means you'll need to shell out $79 million for each plane, so for a decent seven day schedule you'll need $553 million. It remains clear, therefore, that this is usually only practiced when there is absolutely no demand left to supply elsewhere.

And slots need to be available.

E-jets are fuel monsters, so you'll have enough problems on your plate when fuel reaches $1400 on short haul, forget longhaul

[GEnx]

E-jets are fuel monsters

But their pilots are on the medium pay scale.

In a previous game world, I owned a shed load of 737s and flew quite a few from Baltimore (US) to parts of Europe and did very well from it.  But, most of my destinations had a heavy F/C mix so fitted the planes with minimal Y pax.  That certainly helps.

737NG can benefit your future expansion too, you can choose planes with different sizes (from standard config Y120 to Y186) without making another fleet group

but the waiting time maybe a bit long now
