CONFIGURATION SEATS&LEASED AIRCRAFTS

[Yan]

Hello to all,

I'm the CEO  of an company named EUROP'AIR on Game World 1(The Jet Age 1960/2030) based in Paris/Orly. I would like to know if there is no supplementary costs if I decide to modify the configuration seats of a leased aircraft during or at the end of contract that I have to pay to the owner of aircraft ?!...

And I have a second question:my company have the goal to desserve lines of the tree types, short, medium and long haul(in brief to be a Major Company !):is there an interest to modify the configuration seats of a Douglas DC6 leased, with a standar configuration of 85 seats in Y class, on the line of Paris/Madrid, where I have only a demand of 9 seats in C class  ?!...

Thanks for your help

Yan

1. You return the plane to the owner as is e.g. no need to change config back and no penalty / fee applies

2. C class is worth pursuing as it pays a premium, however I personally have the following guidelines -
a. I only modify config on planes with > 2 year lease
b. you wont get full potential until your CI is a bit higher e.g 30+ so keep that in mind
c. I only put in C class to match the demand not worth oversupplying C class

Standard seating is preferable to High Density, but there is very little gain in going to Premium or higher seating
