If you go to Routes>Scheduling. Then select the a/c from the drop down list and click remove schedule (or somethin like that). Although if you do that the FAA may fine you so I woudn't suggest it....

does that just delete maintenance or all the schedule?
seen that option but was unsure if it did or not.

thanks though

it appears to delete the entire schedule, just want to delete the maintenance only.

You can not delete the scheduled A/B checks, that will just get you into trouble.

And B checks are made only 1x month, during the last week of each month on the day you've set them.

Welcome to Airwaysim.

It is not uncommon to go bankrupt once or twice before you start to understand the game and start making money.

There are some important issues you must understand, such as Fleet commonality and Company/route image.

I highly recommend you to not cancell B checks. And also to read this: https://www.airwaysim.com/forum/index.php/topic,3728.0.html :)

thanks for.
removing the scheduling just remove the schedule from that a/c and not the routing.

interesting guide, considering im prob going to have to declare bankruptcy pretty soon.

thanks.

Don't worry about bankruptcy. We all bankrupted many times. It takes some time to learn, so be patient and try again and again. Don't be afraid ask somebody for advice :) And don't forget it's just game :)

my issue was ordering two new A/c without realising i had to wait months for delivery.
so i rented an an-24 in the interim, big mistake.
its not too bad on fuel, but the a checks are killing me.

nearly 3mill in the hole, but im gonan try and trade my way out of debt, if i hit 5 mill im declaring bankrupcty and staring again.

thanks

Don't worry mate, going bust on first attempt is almost a given until you appreciate how things work.  I'm on my second attempt and still learning lots each day.  I found the An26's similarly gave me grief, not just from a maintenance perspective but also in therms of training and aircrew required.  Maybe I'll revisit the Russian stuff when I'm a bit more experienced, as I think they pose more of a challenge.

also,
if i remove all schedules from an A/c and dont do any maintenace, will i still get fined.
even though its not on active duty?

As long as you don't fly them, they don't get fined but are costly to make them sit on the ground...

indeed, but its a pile o poop. its costing me a fortune to fly it
the cheaper option is to let it sit on the ground.
50K per week for an A Check.....

while i paying the leasing cost per month, when you add all the A checks and B checks, minus any revenue, its way cheaper to let it rust.

Umm.. terminate lease. It'll cost 50% less than waiting....
