Probably better to have asked this in the "General" section...

You are correct with that assumption.  And thusly this thread is on the move

General Chat / Questions about the airport D-base....

« on: April 08, 2008, 01:24:21 am »

sometimes general airports have a random amount of charted pax a year or very high general traffic, allowing strange amounts of traffic.... but your right, they're arent commercial airports.

GA airports don't report their pax numbers... they report aircraft movements....  So where do you find an acceptable number that should be in the airport database....  An airport director or marketing department's press releases aren't reliable... Time after time they magically show more pax than the FAA ends up reporting....

I'm trying to get some sort of 'official' idea of what Stephen and Rick expect...

General Chat / Questions about the airport D-base....

« on: April 07, 2008, 02:49:16 am »

I realize that it is HUGE undertaking..  But the it is starting to get a bit ridiculous some of the airports that are appearing...


KGBG.. Galesburg Municipal... It isn't even a Part 139 airport, and can't have any commercial service...  So where did a passenger number for an airport that doesn't report them come from?

KPWK  Palwaukee..(Chicago Municipal)...  No commercial service or scheduled charters...... So where did a passenger number come from

KDUG  Douglas-Bisbee....  This was an d-base error reported 2 rounds ago...  Submitter even admits there isn't any commercial service and thusly no reported FAA pax number...

KMKC  Charles B. Wheeler....  Not even open to larger than 30 seat A/C without 24 approval, and no air carrier ops more than 15 minutes before or after arrival and departure...   Does this sound like an airport that has commercial ops???


When did user invented numbers become accepted amounts for the d-base?  We already discourage Wiki numbers which are user invented......

General Chat / To *someone* - DON'T RUIN THE ROUTE PLEASE

This is getting as bad as the $1 route threads...
and really has nowhere to go except into another death spiral of whining, accusations, and other general idiocy.  So...  CLICK

General Chat / This is mean

« on: March 08, 2008, 04:56:19 pm »

I don't see how lowering the price to £1 helps anyone. Not only to you ruin the idiots route, but you also ruin everyone else on the route who's been playing fairly. (Like Myself!   )

Again i'm not gonna let a "certain airline" put MD-81/82 on my routes with 5-7 frequencies and just sit there, i'm gonna fight back. So deal with it. I would rather lose money on a route than let him destroy.

Which is all you are going to do.....

With the cost mechanics where they are, you have exactly ZERO ability to run a determined opponent off a route, just like the opponent has ZERO ability to run you off the route if you CHOOSE to not leave.

General Chat / €1 Routes

« on: March 06, 2008, 01:47:03 am »

I forgot to add without gate rental fees  

Ahh, but what if you're flying to that airport from another hub and deduct the full gate rental from the profit of that airport?  Purely hypothetical, but even then, you could possibly make a profit on 1 E routes (though it's harder than making a profit on 25 & 50 E routes haha).

What about the enourmous opportunity costs involved here?

There is no way to make money off of 1E routes......

But in the real world, airlines do multiple freq so I am doing it here. I believe this "game" should be exactly like the real world.                    

I think so too, lets bring in terrorists, crashes and unions

I agree completely.... How about political pressure to keep certain airlines afloat, governments of countries purchasing aircraft and assigning them to airlines, how about NIMBY's and curfew's.......
