Hello everyone, I have a little question,
I am almost at 100M and I would like to know if the passenger transport missions with the boeing 737 max are profitable? (before buying it)
I am currently working with a Pilatus PC-12 in freight transport. I make between 1M and 1M6 per mission
I currently have 40 planes spread across 9 companies
and I earn between 3 and 4 million per day
(im level 275)
Thanks!

Does anyone have this answer?
I think no one made it so far due to the bugs and issues with career mode. I *heard" however that it is not paying too well.
For now I just do some low-level missions - especially since I AM NOT GETTING 3-Star Missions (both VIP or Hauling) despite the fact I have the planes and qualification for it.
The silence of Asobo on why there are no such missions is deafening (and - ngl - insulting too)…
I am also interested in this question. I also fly a Pilatus PC-12 in cargo transport and am close to buying one. However, I make from 800 thousand to 1 million 200 thousand on cargo. What kind of discrimination is this?

Im in the same boat, lvl 289 with 65 aircraft, I really don’t want to waste 100 million on the 737M, especially with the useless Saab and Longitude sitting in the hangar.
I think I would test it in the hope that it would really be profitable
I would tell you
I’ve seen screenshots where you can make up to 10 million in one flight. So it sounds very desirable. However, the maintenance costs are also high.
you earn between 6 and 11 million credits per flight if you skip it, even more if you fly yourself, but many airports destroy the plane without you pressing a button, usually the landing gear, and that costs 2 million if you don’t press F4 quickly enough. But for me it was worth it, I made 100 million in 2 days. And it’s a lot of fun to finally fly to the big airports
you can’t skip before the pushback is finished otherwise it will be destroyed and unfortunately it often takes 10 minutes until the passengers have boarded

10 to 16 hour flights can pay 8 million 19 million after bonus. The flights are actually less than half the estemate.
5 estemate hours flights can pay 10 million after bonus.
I let it fly on autopilot overnight at half sim rate.
WARNING: Hitting Alt-N to skip any leg including boarding can cause 40+ million in damages which insurance does not cover.

yes, I am curious as well, I have about 17 aircraft spread across several companies, but right now the medium cargo and if I chase bad weather is paying about 1.5 mill, I bought the sabb340 for heavy cargo but I have yet to see an actual flyable mission, and I don’t want to be stuck with 99-million-dollar paper weight.

I bought the 737 for 44 million and with time you can maintain it
LAX to HNL, 1h40 real time (4-8x sim rate)

If you see this message press alt-f4. It might cost you $40 million in damages.
Never skip to taxi/takeoff/parking.

I bought this airplane, not new, for 74 million, made the necessary repairs for the flight, made two flights for 6 and 2 million. On the third flight, on the climb, I turned on the autopilot, got a sharp dive and a crash. 86 million in repairs. I don’t understand the reason at all. Load was 52%, trimmer 3.25. Engine power 100%. Target altitude on set FL360. After V1/rotate I pulled the joystick all the way down, the runway separation was at the very end and the climb was so hard. And at the end when switching to autopilot - it just pointed it into the ground. Has anyone had this happen???
Do you start from Cold & Dark or is the plane ready to go and you just need to wait for boarding? And do push back etc etc.
Is there any way to start with Cold & Dark? When I get into the cockpit, some of the avionics are already running PDF, MDF, MSDU. I would like the airplane to be completely Cold & Dark.
Question for you guys that own the 737. Have you set it to allow crew to fly it daily? If so, how much does in earn in passive income. I’m thinking of buying it, and just letting crew fly it.
