Bugs / [Not a bug] Market share model

Sorry to interrupt, but I don't really see what you're saying here. For me, the situation is perfectly correct.

The number of passengers is a constant. Let's represent it by the letter c.
Also, let's represent the number of available seats in all companies before you increased the frequency by a and the number of available seats in all companies after you increased the frequency by A.

Now, we have A>a, which is obvious. Therefore, 1/a>1/A (a and A are positive numbers). Let's multiply it by c and we have c/a>c/A. c/a and c/A are the number of passengers per available seat before and after the change, respectively.
Obviously, they are proportionate with the interest in each available seat (let's use letters i and I). Therefore, i>I. Since the optimal price (let's use p and P) is proportionate to the interest in each available seat, p>P is also valid. Hence, the optimal price before you increased the frequency was bigger than after you increased the frequency. Hence, you needed to lower your price.

Hope this helps!

Sorry to gravedig, but I now have a similar problem - my (ID: 10351, Southeast Air Europe) average loadfactor in the last couple of hours seems to be at 99.99%, even though all my routes are at 100%. I know some of them are actually 99.66%, 99.84% etc. but doesn't average loadfactor function take data from the rounded up numbers you get when you go to 'View Routes'? If so, my average LF should be at 100%. I've added a couple of new routes, but the problem didn't disappear at any point.
Of course, it's not a big issue, really, but I can't say it doesn't bother me just a little bit. If you don't get it sorted out, it doesn't really matter. Thanks anyway.
