All that you reducing the fare by 50 euros instead of 1 or 2 is doing is ruining the route faster, because for us to get decent load factors, we HAVE to go lower than your already too-low fare, as we operate similar sized aircraft to you.
No, you are competing with the excess load of passengers that my plane can not handle.
I have only bought ATR's because I have the routes for them. I am currently 5th in Australasia, and the four people in front of me (NO names) all fly Convairs, which are bigger than my ATR's. I also only operate 50 ATR's, while you guys operate a higher number of Convairs.
Yes on the all the routes that have no passengers and are already serviced by Neko, Blue Star or myself. So infact you have just caused the downward spiral on all those route by adding your ATR's to already serviced routes.
I never said I was removed from this, but the reason the price has to keep dropping on routes is not, as you say, because people put aircraft that are too big on them, it is in fact beacuse there AREN'T enough pax for us all to have decent LF's.
Same thing, if everyone stuck to 20seat planes on the routes, then everyone could compete on the route with a high load factor.
Once everyone came along with the SE 210 Caravelle Super 10B's that just ruined the routes and caused the cost of prices to spiral downwards.
Blue Star is in fact smarter than you, because you ruin routes up to 5000% faster than him. Australasia used to work well with one or two big airlines as it used to be, but not 4 or 5 as there is now.
Doubt that, look at what you did this afternoon with all the ATR's. I went out for 3 hours and found many of the routes that you edited €20 less than I left them.
There is a solution to this, split NZ and some of the other islands not part of Australia out of the Asia group so they can't set up bases in Australia.
It's easy to see those who are after money and not provide the full service, just look at who services some of the Perth routes where you make bugger all money.
