Fleets and networks are approximations for the prototype and are scaled to the model. Source: Braniff page (exact): in 1975 one Boeing 747, 11 Douglas DC-8s and 70 Boeing 727s; Dallas Fort Worth hub, Latin America network from 1974, London from 1978. Finance: revenue 972 million dollars and net profit 45 million in 1978, net loss 128.5 million in 1980 and 156.5 million in 1981 (exact). The modelled network is about a third of the real one; cash, debt and credit are estimates.
