But by the time 7 aircraft have arrived you'll have to rebuy the last slots

Don't start a complicated 7-day schedule with one or two aircraft? You can surely wait until you have 5 or 6 or even better... 7 aircrafts before doing it. If you don't want your planes grounded while you wait for the rest to arrive, fly them a few days a week to your potential destinations to build up RI a little bit before you reschedule them into an efficient 7-day schedule. But in general, just wait until you have 5, 6, or even 7 aircraft before doing 7-day scheduling. Problem solved.

I quite often start 7 day rotations when I don't have enough aircraft available.

1) VL planes only arrive once a month, so 7 months 120 hours 5 days
2) I want to build RI on a route so lets make heavy losses on 1 plane rather than 7
3) I want to tell the opposition I'm marking my spot (think dog weeing on a lamppost)
4) The slots are hard to get so I want to grab em while they're there and not let another player nick a neat line of 7 slots
5) I'm impatient ;-)
