Why is it that if you have two of the same a/c (i.e. two dash-8-300's on the zurich route) and the ticket price is the same, why does one get a load factor of 100% while another gets something like 47%?? even if we lower the price for that 47% a/c, the load factor is still very low??

It is because the two planes combined would have more seats than needed. The first established route gets priority in the system. Provided the two planes are the cheapest in the lot, the first one would receive a 100% while the second one would have less than that. If the price is x for plane 1, change the price of plane 2 to (x-1) and the load would reverse.

Oh... and this is NOT a bug.
