The Use of 0.5 Frequency "Cheat"

Don't see why it is weird (care to elaborate??). This is what is happening all around Asia... and the world in AM.

Not weird, it's an outrage!

It should not be allowed for the same airline to run 6 Zhengzhou Xinzheng at 0.5, for example.

Yah, nearly the same at CDG. It's mostly ok with the big airports though.

Suffered by 0.5 airline......
They can just open the same route as mine (one by one...)

Using 0.5 to take my revenue away...

Unbeatable 0.5 kingdom - even cut off price and larger plane.

:oops:

I 've try my best to prevent opening 0.5 airline, and
I don't mind competition and even being defeated,
but seems that the situation make those who are not 0.5 airline feeling exhausted...

I'm sick of the 0.5 fools. It's not really a cheat its just cheap.
I've had about 10 routes attacked overnight by 3 airlines using the stupid 0.5 frequency cheap shot. I just lower the price to making a loss. That way all of their aircraft on that route will be operating at a bigger loss than me.

Being new here, I've unintentionally placed 1 x 0.5 routes all over the place where it was deemed more profitable than 1 x 1.0.

I hope single 0.5s everywhere is considered "acceptable".

Acceptable varies from player to player, also so does "realism" and the "goal of the game".

.5's are fine, they're designed to be used.

multiple .5's is alright (though the design part is trying to be cleaned up for next age), as it has a good economic motive behind it (again. this is trying to be cleaned up). more then a few might raise a little ire, but -shrug- in my opinion. a few dozen to the same city... thats... see next statement.

Almost nobody likes high frequency, multiple overlapping routes. They're technically not illegal, but of late they're becoming problematic.

Definately problematic. 0.5 frequencies aren't a problem when there's only one aircraft per airline doing that on a particular route. It's when they have about 4 aircraft all on 0.5 frequency deliberately to drive price and competition down.
I've noticed one airline doing it alot on my routes. Lets see how he/she handles me putting my 773ER's on those routes.
