Hi, from reading on this forum, I've gathered that having 4 or more different maintenance categories will incur a 15% maintenance cost increase for each additional category. I have a few questions:
1: Is this still true?
2: Does the penalty apply to my subsidiaries? If not, would it be wise to create a regional subsidiary and a cargo sub to avoid this penalty?
3: Is the 15% penalty for all maintenance categories, or just the newest one (maybe cheapest one)? It would be odd if I only had 1 aircraft in the 4th category, but it increased my overall maintenance by 15%.
Having more than THREE categories will incur the penalty.
1. yes
2. only to the one company you are leasing planes with
3. for each additional (more than 3 categories) the penalty is 15%, counted on the overall maintenance costs. With 5 categories, you pay 30% more and so on.

Thank you! Just to clarify on 2, my parent company can have 3 categories, and my subsidiary has 3 different categories, and there would be no penalty?
