I think you could improve your strategy a little bit. Some pointers:
1) Forget about multiple frequencies until you've grown your airline a little more (hmmm... make that a lot more);
2) Mind what you lease. Leasing
is a good way to accelerate your growth but a DC-9 can get quite expensive and will give you only a fraction of what several smaller planes (for the same price) would bring;
3) You're competing with airlines that are much bigger than yours. Instead of throwing yourself into big routes with lots of competitors already in, search for niche markets. Believe me, there are still some routes out of JFK where you can go alone (though not for long, with me there).
Also, take it easy. It takes some time until real money starts flying in. You just have to be patient and make few mistakes. After a while it starts getting much better, you'll be growing faster, buying the planes you really want and having more fun. :wink:
P.S. - DON'T build gates at your hub until you really have to. Building a terminal costs a lot of money that you should invest in new planes instead.
