I swear my bank balance took a massive dive between the 24th and 1st of the month. Now it occurs between the 1st and 2nd of the month.

I also still lose lots of money between the 15th and 16th.

15th and 16th is when your staff get paid. 24th and 1st is when gates and maintenance are paid. Also, its possible that you have some lease payments due on the 1st and 2nd that exagerate the effect?

All of my aircraft are owned. I see a significant drop in cash (billions of dollars) between the 1st and 2nd.

I also seem to be earning less than before. I noticed that depreciation is now showing up as an expense. I haven't seen if this is being deducted from cash at the end of the month yet, but it shouldn't be.

I'll have to defer this one to Yuxi, in that case.

Coincidentally, I was around for the month change...

(Numbers have been altered slightly.)

Date | Valuation	|	Change
23rd | $13,787,059  |	 -0-
24th | $14,369,587  |  +$582,528
1st  | $14,968,219  |  +$598,631
2nd  | $10,555,539  | -$4,412,680

As you can see, from the 24th to the 1st, it's business as usual. Between the 1st and 2nd is when I lose a lot of money.

Depreciation is listed on your expense sheet as it should be, but it is taken out of your aircraft value, not cash.
