Title: does it really make sense?
Post by: jetWes757 on August 11, 2007, 01:14:50 pm
does it make sense to have multiple aircraft on the same route for the same price? i mean, isnt that where frequency comes into play? i just find that a bit redundant....

It makes just about as much sense as having mulitple topics about the same thing under the same thread. :lol:

(not saying you are posting multiple topics... just and example)

It makes sense in a few ways.  On a long high volume route sometimes you can't get as many frequencies as you would like out of one aircraft.  So, since you can't do 2 or 3 frequencies with one aircraft, you go with one each from 2 or 3, or 2 with one and one from another, etc.

Also, say you are hubbed at LGA.  Even if you're only running a few aircraft, it seems like many end up with an hour or 2 left once you're done scheduling them.  Using more than one aircraft at the same price for one frequency each on a high volume short distance route like LGA-BOS, or LGA-PHL, is an easy way to maximize your fleet utilization and use those "scrap hours."
