Hey there,

I merely disappointed. I check my account once or twice a day. When I buy an aircraft it says 2 months or 3 months but always gives me the airliner the next upcoming month. I plan to buy gates the next month and receive the aircraft a month later... Now it is the second time, that I'm in minus just because the aircraft was delivered to early and I don't have enough funds to negotiate new gate contracts...

Thus, if you plan on buying an aircraft would you mind to take it, when it is due too?

Thank you
chris

*sigh* you have to know the aircraft queue system...which is 30 planes plus 10% of the rest of the queue...do the math...if there are over a hundred planes in queue...expect 40 planes to be delivered...and its only 2 planes per person....so if the first 20 people have large multiple orders...planes bound to other folks get delivered as well....next time buy the gate before the plane.

Not everyone knows the ins and outs of AE when they start off/until they are told. I would guess that orders are recieved (For Airbus) around the 3 month mark unless you are ordering in very large quantities which would progress up closer to "Next Month". The estimated delivery date is based on flawed logic, wherein the actual delivery system was changed and this was not updated.

If u had noticed, the Airbus queue is very long and has a large backorder. Now, u think its a disadvantage, because of the many orders involved, however with the delivery system, more orders in queue means faster delivery. It would not suprise me if u receive your A319 in 4-5 months (game time!!) instead of the 17 months it says.

Exactly, as there are 370 aircraft in the queue now and orders are delivered 30 + 20% of the order queue which would be 104 deliveries with a max of 2 per airline per month.
