I noticed that once i schedule a flight for aircraft in order the payroll is increased to cover the needed personnel even thought the flight is not flying as the aircraft is not delivered. Am I getting this right?
Hello
Yeah, this is normal. In real life, you would need time to train your staff and make sure that they can safely fly, as well as all operations are properly organized.
Of course, it may sound a bit strange when you order 50 planes, and all staff is hired immediately although some planes may be delivered only 15 months later...
I suggest you adjust your staff level manually when you want to save money on anticipated staff
Enjoy your game !

And that's not true here either. Since the staff expenses start only when you have scheduled routes for the plane. Which can be no earlier than ~3 weeks prior delivery.

Even better ! Thx for the update
I've found that there isn't any impact on a route or performance if you don't schedule it until after the last weekly payroll period before you take delivery of the airplane. For instance if you are going to take delivery on a Friday, wait until after Tuesday at 12:00 to schedule the aircraft, allowing you to not pay the payroll until after the aircraft has started flying.
