Title: Stalker Airline?
Post by: skywaker9 on February 25, 2009, 07:43:22 am

Has anyone ever felt like they have an airline stalking them?  This person has copied pretty much all my bases and routes.  I don't mind, it's annoying at worst because they do stupid things like set very very low fares on routes with lots of traffic and constantly run 2-3 freqs....

Normally imitation is the sincerest form of compliment, but in this case..

BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID!!   :lol: :lol:

They are probably just following a similar strategy to you, such as going to all the biggest airports in a certain region. Often another airline or two and I will have very similar bases, and we will stalk each other. Try deviating from your normal strategy, like basing at some of the smaller airports, and you will find less/different competition.

That's the thing, I am.  I am basing at airports that have relatively lower competition but potential for high passenger loads (and lots of short flights to high yield cities)...

If you didn't read that thread all the way through, it was actually a case of mistaken identity.

Nonetheless, I do not support the creation of hate/stalker airlines, nor bush league maneuvers.
