Post by: CTito on October 13, 2007, 04:38:09 am: Yeah, it's so injust. This guy put £15 as ticket price and I'm with 10% of load......

Can anyone do something??

Simple. Stop complaining. You won't get any sympathy from any players (except maybe newbies like you).

Post by: Boho on October 13, 2007, 04:48:07 am: It is still competition. If this happened in real life, who would the other airlines complain to? Nobody. They would either match the price or fly somewhere else.

Post by: Max2147 on October 13, 2007, 05:05:24 am: It's bad aircraft utilization on his part. If you react right to it then you'll get a leg up on him.

You've got 3 options:

1. Lower your fare to match/beat his. If the fare is $15 this isn't a very good idea.
2. Lower your fare until you get back to 100% load factor. $15 isn't the natural price on this route, so there are still passengers left over. Even with him at $15 you'll still be able to get a plane full of passengers at a higher fare. You won't make as much money as you did before, but you'll still make more than he's making.
3. Take your plane to a different route. Keep an eye on the old route though. If he keeps the fare at $15 with no competition then he's pretty stupid. He'll probably raise the fare after you leave. When he does that, re-open the route with a lower fare than he has.

Post by: Daemonfly on October 13, 2007, 05:06:22 am: Fair? No :P

Buisiness? Yes. ;)

I had similar at the end of last round. Airline kept dropping prices down below me to take 100% load every time to the point of a $1000+ ticket price route was under $100. So I just dropped it to $1 for a few days & he left.

Reality is cruel. If people want some cuddles, forum is not the place. (<-- I am being rude again, by your standard)

(I don't even know why I bother to respond. Should have just locked this topic.)

I think Max gave you the best answer.

Does it suck? Yes. Is it legal? Yes.

Post by: Blue Sky Mine on October 13, 2007, 02:35:32 pm: Just get yourself a gate at another airport and than put your plane on that route- this early in the round that shouldn't be a problem.

If you try to compete with the airline you're both gonna loose a lot of potential money, because you're both about the same size and can't destroy each other...
