Hi,
Happy New year and great game as always !
I stumbled on what might be a bit of unrealism even for a simulated environment.
I understand that the aircraft that were first leased on Aspern where part of an immediate delivery program which was a great idea to get the world going. What I don't understand is why the aircraft that are now becoming available on the used market through companies going bankrupt or returning their leased aircraft (fleet change) are being priced higher than the new aircraft lease option ?
The airliner in particular is the EMB195 which is about 10% more expensive used than new order. The way I see it since established airlines have to suffer revenue loss due to trial members rushing to set up routes and compete with poor strategies, they should be able to win back some advantage by being able to lease the failed enterprises aircraft at a cheaper price (they would already be close by) than ordering one on lease brand new.
I believe this would happen in the real world as used new aircraft in such large numbers would be priced to move giving the world a true free market (priced to move).
Thanx for the time.
