When playing as fully realistic airlines, do you go for a Airbus dominant fleet of Boeing dominant fleet, or perhaps a Douglas dominant fleet in the earlier years. What's your pick?

Boeing

[egwrhw3rhwrh]

Boeing aircraft always dominate my fleet. I do have some Q300s and Q400s to serve short-haul routes with little demand and short runway lengths. In earlier worlds, I tend to spam use Tristars because those birds are quite awesome.

 

Airbus has no place in my airlines.

Airbus. Fleet looks nicer, long range, and I love the A319 and A321

Boeing

Mostly Boeing because my realistic airlines are usually in smaller countries with less passengers, and Boeing has a better choice of mid-sized planes in all periods since 70's, especially 767/787.

Airbus ftw

[markantony9692]

A right wee mixture!
Right now, I have a 'place-holder' 767 from the used market, around twenty 757s, twenty MD11s, twenty 747-400s, twelve 777s, 35 A321 on order, 70 737-8 on order, 20 Q400 on order, and 25 A330-300 on order. I also have about fifty 737-400 and seventy MD-8* aircraft.

Boeing and Airbus mix

I love the 767 and the 747 (for high density domestics with the 8I)

I love the A318 and the A321

I also use the 737-700ERs

The main aircraft in my fleet is the A340-300 from 1993-2007

Boeing and Douglas for me.

[Zacca]

Embraer

[PolarJaket]

Bombardier

[AJ787-9]

Mostly Boeings with Airbuses based outside the Mainland (HNL, GUM, PPG etc.)

Regionally, it's only Bombardiers until the 170 LR comes out.

[Med.]

Lockheed!

 

On serious note, in the early years I prefer Douglas. DC-6, DC-7 and DC-8 are rock stars. Going into the 70's, 80's and 90's, I tend to go to Boeing. 747 767 and 737classics are huge moneymakers. 2010s and beyond, I lean towards Airbus. You can never go wrong with the extremely useful and profitable A320, A330 and A340-200/300.

OMG

Why would you need domestic A340s and A380s in India?       

I don't use them even in China and US...

600-1000 pax routes are perfect for 5-10 daily frequencies on A320 A321, and even a few A319s if you make a nice mix... That's both realistic IRW and makes your virtual reputation go way up with better frequency.

 

Anyway, I'm shoched when I look at 90% of AE's allegedly realistic airlines. Really, people, is it so hard to look at what real real airlines do?

Well, having a daily util of 5hr like BON is not really that easy to do and still have a profit
