In my airline, Midway Airlines, I have 29 767-300ER's delivered between 1991 and 2001, plus 15 767-400ER's delivered between 2001 and 2003. My game world is in 2014, and it ends in a year. My -300ER's have Pratts and my -400's have GE engines. I want to replace the older (1991-1996) -300ER's, which all have winglets, but they're pulling my average fleet age down, plus the maintenance price is getting high. I don't want to buy new -300ER and -400ER aircraft because that's not realistic. What aircraft should I use, in this year, with fuel burn better than 38,000 and realistic capacity that can replace the -300ER's on primarily TATL routes out of PHL, MSP, DTW, and MCO?
Well, in my airline, Midway Airlines, I started with Saab 340 aircraft out of BNA to other destinations with low demand. I was able to replicate the success of that in DCA and CMH also. It made lots of profit, but it took a while for cash to build up, so I used F-100 aircraft on longer routes to make more money. So I guess it depends on how much the landing fees are and if there's competition.
Hi. I'm currently managing Air Berlin and Japan Airlines in R4 and I don't have time for this airline so does anyone want it?
Airline: Frontier Airlines
Hubs: DEN
Focus cities: ATL, MKE, PHL, MCO, CVG, COS

In operation for 1 1/2 years
Cash: $217 million
If anyone wants it, it's first-come, first serve, so just put your shared control number down and I'll add you. Just two rules if you choose to take it that I want you to follow but can't enforce you on are keep it realistic and don't shut it down if it can be avoided. Also, I'd like the 737-200's off property around 2004 and the 737-300's retired by 2006. Thanks.
