Hi I'm looking for someone to sort out my fleet of ageing dc7s and 747s due to a lack of expireience I'm struggling with this airline.
Would any one be willing to help me out.
Cheers

Yo have to many different families as the 737-200 is a classic and has a different maintence cost than the 300. You need at least five of each family which you can see when you go to Finance...Aircaft Maintence

Thanks for the advice. I'm going to streamline my fleet asap.
Any suggestions on a replacement for a dc7 ?
Thanks

Where and how would you use your DC-7s? If it's short-haul (with similar seating capacity) you might want to try the Avro Regional Jets.

The shortest route is about 700 miles and the longest is around 3500 miles. I've got six in the fleet 5 could be replaced with the Avro jets. Would it be worth getting five and dropping the sixth dc7 and its routes ?
Thanks again

Focus on the 737-300 and Avro100s for short haul

Well, at this point in R0 there's not a plane similar to the DC7 (considering seating capacity+range). Does your 6th DC7 have a route that the Avros can't reach? If there is, you might want to drop the route for now, and save up for something like a.. B752 (3,800miles). Then drop the 6th DC-7 so that you don't have to pay anymore for the DC7s Maintenance Base Costs.

Agree with Nexus. Focus on the 737-300s (or -600 when you have enough cash) and the Avros.

A319LR is the best though
