Week 6 Day 5

Today you should have over 100M of R&D dollars, and about 500M in cash.
The R&D dollars is increasing nicely as it is spent on "cheap" service research at the moment.

Service #2 - Partnership - Low Cost Transport (1/2) -- Non-existent (8M, 3h)
Service #2 - Partnership - Low Cost Transport (2/2) -- Scrooge style (8M, 3h)
Then under Services -> Partnership services -> Transport -> set to "Scrooge style"

Service #2 - Partnership - Entertaining Advertizing (1/2) -- entertaining (9M, 3h)
Service #2 - Partnership - Entertaining Advertizing (2/2) -- funny (9M, 3h)
Then under Services -> Partnership services -> Onboard Advertizing -> set to "Funny"

- Expenses: -60 (-60/250)
- Anc. Revenue: 120 (120/1000)
- Entertainment: 160 (160/1000)
- Punctuality: 56 (56/1000)

Borrow what you can from Mini Bank Market Loan (~ 187M) and Vaulture Market Loan (~ 212M).
Remember to take the maximum duration; and put your estimate target SP to $1000
This would bring your bank account to around 900M

Time to add one more wave on KMP hub.
Refreshing your audit you can notice a bump of about ~200 economy passengers.

This may seem like a very small progress; but keep in mind that every increase of 600 allows you to squeeze one extra wave on circuit.
Adding one wave (~770M) brings you instant incomes; versus building a new circuit (160-500M) plus the same base cost for plane (770M).

So, refresh your internal audits for all your 7 routes on KMP.
Load them in the Perfect Seat Finder and select WAVE=2, like so:

Note down the seat configuration, and order 7 planes with this toward KMP; and since they will be added to the first circuit, name them KMP-C01.

Update the prices for these routes as per the tool.

Once the planes have arrived, schedule them as usual.
