A couple months ago (in sim time) I was making about $650,000/day. Over the past few months, my profit has been steadily decreasing. I haven't changed anything, and I don't think there has been a significant change in competition in my routes. What may be causing this? Am I missing something in my management? Or is there some sort of novelty in passenger demand where the longer you are on a route they fly on you less? Is it aircraft depreciation in profit generation on the route? Or is it some sort of market swing that is happening to everyone? I checked some competitor's financial sheets and some seem to be having the same 11-20% decrease in profitability I have been having.

2-months prior was an extended month in AE the game was stuck on the 24th and Miller had to force the months changeover.

From looking you should wait till the next changeover (providing it rocks OK) and again look at the balance sheet.

Other words, due to the stuck changeover the balance sheet right now give players a false report if viewing it month by month

I know compared to the month prior it will lower since that one was stuck, but my daily profits have gone from 650,000 to 403,000 in the past two months. I'm just curious if this is a "natural" occurrence written into sim2 or if it's potentially my doing or lack thereof.

Understand what you say, its impossible to know exactly as no-one but you can see your true DOP now and last weeks to compare.

Having past game exp, I would put it down to your largest locations being BWI & CDG then one would expect that others are on routes, either added cap or adjusted due to new entrants on routes.

Rest-assure that the only changes that Miller as done in past week are;

Added Aircraft Depreciation
Altered the New Aircraft Delivery process
and removed a lot of non-active accounts
