Hello,
I've been playing this game for months now and I'm glad that my airline survives and grows in a good path, thanks to all the help from the forum.
It seems like i have not used the page "Operations control" quite often in this game. What do you guys do with it? For me it's more like a tool to visually check my wave system.
Am I missing anything? Just curious.
Thanks in advance.
Personally I don't use it for anything useful. Sometimes, I just look to see how it's going, but since I'm not really working in waves, it's just nice to know - not need to know..
If I'm moving flights to larger aircraft I find it easier to review flights on the Operations Control. For example, if I'm scheduling an E195 I can see all my E175 flights on one screen to review which flights in which hub banks should be moved on to the E195.

Seems like i treated it right. Thanks!
If you are small enough, you can use it to accurately predict your cashflow, and thus order additional aircraft etc.
One way of getting ahead of competition is being first. The other way is to grow faster than the competition. If you have the least amount of money in your account (i.e you keep investing), then you will outpace your competition's growth.
I would use the Ops page and Cash Flow pages together. Clicking on the relevant flights on the Ops page will tell you how much money you have coming in, say in the next day (remember to add back leases and wages etc from your flight profits). Use your cashflow to determine how much you need to keep. As soon as you have enough money for a deposit, go shopping :)
In the early days of my airline, I found that this enabled me to have ~10% better Return on Investment than my competition.
