The daily profit each route makes for each aircraft...
Is that per amount of frequencies or per destination?

You already posted this in the other thread. Its basically per destination, but if you have 2 routes to the same destination you get both profits.

so, lets say i have a route to New York from LAX,
Obviously its better to have 1 frequency making 130,000, than 2 frequencies making 120,000 ?
but surely in real-life if you have a full 100% load on each frequency you'd make more profit with 2...you should really make double shouldnt you? or am i completely missing something??
Just wondering...and a little confused... Thanks

I'm not sure how you are with Economics, the way it works in AM is that lets say you have a 100 seat aircraft on a route with a fare of €100. At that price there are 100 people willing to pay it, thus you get 100% loadfactor. Any more and you loose money. (The best way to play). If you however add a second frequency and you now have 200 seats, you as an airline want 100% loadfactor, but you may need to reduce your fare to €50 to find 200 people willing to fill the plane on the route. The bias is towards one frequency at the moment as we still have a number of factors we need to add in.
