as in real world, an A/C may be on sale for a set amount, and also to buy it out of a lease agreement. is there anyway that the game can add the option of a counter-offer? as most airlines would happily accept a slightly lower price just to get rid of the A/C. its a tried and tested method in real life.

I must have asked in the past for this many times with no result so far.  It seems crazy to me that in this game, if you lease a plane from a robot leasing company, you get the option to just buy out that aircraft while it is still in your fleet.  But at the same time, if you have the exact same aircraft leased from a real company (another player) then there is no such option and you have to first send the plane back to the owner who then can put it up for the buyer who has to then wait another 2 weeks for it to arrive back where it was in the first place!   :,( >:(  I once received the argument that this prevents owners from having a leased plane bought out from under them if they didn't want to sell it. Surely it's easy to solve that, just have a selector when you put up any plane you own for onward lease, that either permits purchase or not - price might then just have to be the nominal computer set figure based on age/type/condition/etc. but this is after all then a choice the owner can make either to do this or not.

It would be so very much appreciated Sami if this could be implemented.
