I just want to know how much time you spend working on your airline
What is the biggest fleet you've ever had?

I spend quite a bit actually.........but it helps that I am the boss so I get to also play at work.
In O2, now that the 757 and 767 are coming into production, I will be trimming down from the almost 2000 a/c as 1 767 can replace 2 on routes.
I am constantly in R5 trying to find the best mix of IFE and seating set ups for routes.

It is a curse to get too big. I will say that. IIn O2, I have gotten to where I don't even adjust ticket prices until they go in the yellow range.
I have routes that I fly a 78% load factor because it is a hassle to go thru 2500 routes. And I cannot use the match price button because a lot of routes I am flying at 100% load but 50 bucks or more higher price.

Sounds worrying

Nah, I still handle business...............I have my laptop running the game and my desktop is loaded up with business.
For what my company does, HVAC, there is little day to day input from me. The first 5 years I was in the field all the time, now I go into the field during our peak season when we are swamped with calls. Or if I am bidding a big project and such.

Have 886 aircraft in the current R1. Would have had about 1000 or more but I didn't need some of them so they went to the used market. All owned and utilised for 19.40 hours on average and I'm worth over $66,000,000,000 and I'm in 6th place closing in on 5th but I won't get any further than that and someone will probably pass me out before I hit 5th anyway. The airline is 14 years old now. (It just got lucky)

Forget I said that.
When I took over my current airline, there were about 350 planes flying for it.
Trimmed the number down to ~200, turned the whole airline around.
Then other airlines came in (damn them) and now I'm down to ~150 planes.
Not as bad to manage as I thought, but still...

Why trim it down? Keep adding gradually to the fleet and keep gradually adding routes and you can't go too far wrongForget I said that.

My largest that I can remember was TWA in the previous R2 game, ran a typical US carrier with around 370 planes by the time it was all said and done. But usually I run smaller niche carriers in various places around the world. Much easier to manage. I find that once an airline gets to a certain size it gets boring and repetitive.

If there's no empty routes to fill, I don't expand. If someone jumps my routes and cuts prices too dramatically, I leave.
I'm not playing that game, no way, no how.
