I was just curious if anyone else who plays AM runs his/her company like a low-cost airline....

There is no "low-cost" airlines in AM. Only "low-price" airlines exist. The costs are not in your control :P

a low fare airline, isn't the same as a low cost airline.

And once you create a 'low-cost route', you make other airlines make prices go as low as your prices are...
Low costs = Chaos :D

Unless you have 3-4 747s on that route charging €1, your competitors will still be able to charge much more.

Enjoy your massive losses.
