exuse my spelling XD

 

Note that there is no 707-320s or DC-8-50s in the vote. They start production later than most of these aircraft.

I alternate between 707s or DC-8s depending on what I'm feeling for my airline (they're basically the same). I'll use those on major trunk routes (JFK-LAX, ORD-MIA, etc.) and even equip them with early absurd configs like 48C/56Y (which was TWA's initial config for their 707s).

For medium routes it's either the CV-880/990 or 720s until 727s roll around.

Small routes are almost always props until the late 60s when appropriate jet replacements in the form of DC-9s and 737s come online.

Essentially it boils down to what I'm feeling for my airline at a given time.

please don't kill us we're just the aquabats

All of those are horrendous gas guzzlers. I'd keep using Brittanias, Yukons & Lockheed Electras & even Constellations till the above mentioned excluded jets came along.

Personally I'd wait until you can order the B707-320B or the DC8-50.

The 168 seater is the Yukon, and is also the most efficient fuelflow/passenger in the game.
