My airline lose money every plane I depart, I pay 40m for the top tier marketing, n I only make ~300 to ~400k from maxed out MC21400 flights at >800 demand
#Why am I failing?
spice hatch
Have you bought and sold a lot of airplanes?
dusty timber
yes actually, i quit a year ago and got back in
i was stupid back then
kept buying and remodelling
checked again, i did a control flight and make ~700k for maxed stopover mc214 flight
spice hatch
That explains your tremendous marketing expense.
dusty timber
ah, it doesnt go down?
so that marketting price matches what level of mc214 then? at what point does it balance out
spice hatch
Never. Marketing and hub prices are in relation to your number of aircraft ever owned. IOW, if you sold all planes right now, bought one C172 and fly it wherever, your marketing price will have increased. Same with hubs.
spice hatch
Not sure. Lemme check something.
Whats your marketing screen look like? I have 329 active aircraft and 339 ever owned...
spice hatch
Read the guides before you do it. 🙃
dusty timber
yeah and this time im not gonna continuously remodel...
is there any way to refund money i bought... lol?
spice hatch
I usually advise people to stick to their starter planes until buying hangars costs serious money or takes weeks
spice hatch
is there any way to refund money i bought... lol?
I do not think Trophy gives refunds.
dusty timber
well, its ok. ty for the help lol
spice hatch
Chances are, you may be able to fly out of this hole.
You'd need to reroute the MCs. These planes are not necessarily the best long range planes. 700K per flight sounds like you are going more than 10.000 KM
Unless you are low on cash...
dusty timber
i think with the insane cost of my marketing its better for me to just restart
And not be stupid this time
spice hatch
You'd fly shorter routes on ECO. Yeah, marketing will not get better.
dusty timber
alright well, thank you for the help either way
spice hatch
Good luck!
dusty timber
🫡
dusty timber
Good luck!
ah... which ones the better starter plane to sell again?

No starter plane is good to sell until you run into sweats trying to buy hangars. You need these short routes early on to collect Training points.
dusty timber
I thought the "meta" was to sell immediately for dc-9-10s
spice hatch
You'll need these short routes much later in the game when Hangars cost several billion $ and expanding by training points takes weeks. Like in my case.
spice hatch
I have 3x8h routes and 2x12 hour routes. I wish I had kept my 10 DC910's.
Please read the guides and recommended planes.
dusty timber
👍
spice hatch
DC910, Bae146-300, B727-100, but also CRJ100 CRJ200 and several others will allow you to afford bigger planes. Route them so that you can handle them. No purpose in routing them on one hour routes and then only departing them twice a day... 🤷♂️
spice hatch
Are you going to?
orchid arch
Yes
I am new to the game and can't figure out plenty of things
This is my Current Fleet. I am wondering if It's the right time now to shift on the Bigger Planes or continue stacking DC-9-10's or BAE 146-300's till a specific number? Or any other Planes if you guys can suggest through your experiences ?

There are guides for plenty of things. Please use these guides. Remember that its your airline - you make the final decsions. I see 25 decent planes. What you can buy and afford depends on your cash flow.

Got it bro I think I should start getting 1 MC after every 2 DC's
