When maintenance costs are put in the income will come right down. But actually I agree - fuel burn should be taken into account. Another thing that the game doesn't include yet is environmental laws - planes such as the 707, 727, and, yes, the Il-86 may be unable to fly in some areas because of emissions and noise from those old engines, which would make operating them quite hard for airlines. Regarding the Il-96, they're not actually as old as I implied in my earlier post. They flew with Aeroflot up to 2012 if not later (that was the last time I flew on one, Moscow-Dubai on Aeroflot. Now the old Aeroflot ones fly for Cubana. They're not amazing, but not that bad. I agree with you, they should be priced more than $50 million.
