It appears though that the issue of having a higher priced competitor entering the market is fixed. I remember when a competitors who priced higher than me came onto some of my routes last round, my Load Factor dropped as much as 25% on some routes. This time it's not the case it appears. I do agree something has to be done about making 1 cent undercutting less effective on a competing airline. I did notice though if I operate a different, smaller type that has similar characteristics to my competition, the I don't have to exactly have to undercut them and can charge as much as 50 Euro more than they did. But I do feel there really is no way to "Fix" it, the best thing that can happen is that a more significant "hub effect" takes place thus not making LFs drop that hard. Afterall, undercutting your competition or getting undercut yourself is part of the game, and there really is no way to make it so that when a new competitor enters and charges lower, you won't feel any effects. It happens too in real life as well. Routes that usually have 5 or 6 different airlines (flying planes with more than 70 seats each) on them will tend to have lower ticket prices (under 100 Euros usually) than lets say a route with a single airline on it.
