General Chat / To those already doing 2+ frequencies on routes...

My DOP lowered by 2 million 'cause of this airline
I was so frustrated that I let my guard down and now I have an MSN worm thats I'm still trying to fix as I type! I think I'm going to take a break from AM...for a day

perfect reason to diversify your routes, he killed a lot of routes for me too, i closed them, fought back on a few of them, and expanded in other hubs, it wasn't a huge loss in DOP for me since my other hubs made up for it. Still annoyed though.

Good idea! ...oh crap I can't think of any other places to fly to Oh well I'll continue expanding my BOS base :oops:

This @#*&@*!#&@!$@*$&@#*$&@#*^$!*#$^&@!*$^!@#*$*!@$*!@#^@!*#&@#*^@*$#^@!*#&^@*@$^@!*$^@*$ airline, for the sake of following forum rules lets call it "Airline E", operating out of my home city at SFO (other airlines also operating out of here may know which airline I'm talking about) seems to have found every single west coast route I operate and put like 10x frequencies EACH, and by each I mean each I mean he has about 3 aircraft on each route! Whats most annoying is that because of this he has his prices at like E80 which brings down EVERYONE's profit!

After I create a focus city, do I have to use them all or can I return the ones I don't use?

I recently did a lot of things that cost money...I joined an alliance, bought a new plane, rented a ton of gates, etc.
At least now I can fly from alliance bases! Opening lots of new routes as soon as the second 737-200 Adv comes in...

Hi, I have tried to create a route from an alliance base as you explained, but none of my alliance bases show up in the depart list! I do have gates there.

EDIT: nvm, now it appears for me

Currently number 3 at my only base (SFO) and planning to open a new one either at DFW or BOS. Although I don't even fly to BOS yet

General Chat / How do you make an airline that is profitable

« on: February 28, 2008, 09:41:25 am »

You made a good choice for starting out at a medium size airport like ONT (unlike me the idiot who plans on all 250K airports ).  But flying to SBP, ive never even heard of that airport before i looked it up (no offense to anybody who lives in San Luis Obispo).  Maybe fly to something bigger, such as SAN or LAX or LAS or PHX, etc.  From one small airport to another wont get you as much profit as flying to a bigger airport.  Try that out and see how it works for ya.

I completely agree. And don't build another base too soon. When I first started, I built up a second base and one click later, my cash was almost a million in the hole! One quick reset later, I have a new base (SFO) and many 1x frequency flights to the major airports within my BAe-146's range. and now look where I am...
