Got some idiot (ranked #2 in the Middle East, not including the brokers) decided to throw extreme multiples (5+) of Caravelle Super 10s on a bunch of routes I PMed him to see what was up, but no reply. Luckily I had 20 SE210-12s sitting waiting to be deployed. Got a bunch more on the way. Sorry to the folks this fare war is affecting. You all might want to get on his behind to get him to cut it out (or start multiples on his other bases on his routes).

Hey Dooskie, how about you name your airline "Incredible Hulk Airways." Slogan: "Don't make me angry! You're not gonna like me when I'm angry."

I'm a newbie here, and thought it was interesting to seet his topic. I only own one plane, and I lease another one. The one I own is a BAe-146-100, while the one I lease is a Fokker F27-500. I have 2.5+ frequency on all of my three routes, and I don't get why that is so bad? I don't have the money to buy gates all over the place, while still saving up to lease another aircraft. An simple explanation for a newbie would be nice.

You can make more money if you fly (A=your hub; B and C are airports of similar size):A->B freq.1A->C freq.1instead of flying:A->B freq.2Offering more freq (=seats) means you need to lower the fare to fill your plane. Its kinda like having competition to yourself. If you have competition on your freq2 routes they will lower THEIR fare to get their planes filled. This will cause a massive drop in LF on your aircraft. You now adjust your fare and the same starts again. Having freq2 or higher usually causes a very fast dropdown in fares = less money you will have in your pocket.
hint: you can still rent out gates, in airports you don't have gate, with negative cash.

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