Ray's tip of the day

[Yarnam]

When starting up do not schedule flights for an aircraft arriving in 2 weeks. You will have to pay for all the personnel for the 2 weeks. Instead schedule them the day before the aircraft arrives and add personnel then. *sigh*

Am I right on this one guys?

Yes. Yes you are.

Lesson learnt for next time I guess

Or you can can schedule right away and chose to first pay for the slots the day the plane arrive

The problem with that is you still have to pay staffing costs for the plane, slots or no slots. Stick to scheduling them as close to the day of delivery as possible for at least the first 10 planes or so.

I've advocated in the past that if we schedule the planes earlier than they can be flown, that the RI starts ticking to simulate as if the passengers were aware of the service being offered.  That would at least take away a portion of the losses due to the extra costs.  That way when it actually does start flying, the RI is above 0.

Sounds like a feature request... go for it!
