hint: you can still rent out gates, in airports you don't have gate, with negative cash.

That's cool. Thanks for the hint. After only doing 1 fr. on all my routes, and bying gates, I've raised my DOP from roughly $ 144k to $ 314k.

So at least one player learned today that high frequency does not mean high income. just another 500 left...nah, just kidding.

Please forward this to particular airline ceo in Pit

Come on! I may be a slow learner with some things -- but I'm not THAT slow. ;-)

Didn't know about renting gates with negative cash tho...

D'oh... I AM a slow learner!!

Wow, I'm confused. I just started the game yesterday, and I assumed the more frequencies, the more money you would make. So you're saying you make more money with one frequency?? Is there a post someplace I could learn this from??

I admit I did the same, it takes a while to learn that AM isn't exactly like Real life (There is very rarely an occasion where you need to do more than a 1x freq). You'd notice everyone else is only doing 1x freq flights (that or they're idiots). If you only do 1 freq flights, that leaves your plane more time to do other routes, =more profit, even after gate costs.

Well the demand runs on the law of diminishing returns. So if you have more frequencies, you have to charge less to fill your planes, so that means you don't actually make twice the amount of money from 2 frequencies as 1. You make more like 1.7 or 1.8 times. And then if you have 3 frequencies, you make 2.3 or 2.4 times the amount of money. And so on and so forth. So you'd be best served doing one frequencies to more destinations than doing multiple to one.

You make more money on a per-flight basis on one frequency.

And when you get competition on the route, all that extra capacity means your fares start falling a lot faster.
