Everyone who has flights to over a hundred different routes or more knows that some competitor comes by, reduces prices by $10 or $15 and takes away a substantial chunk of passengers ( all of us have done that). What my point is that small differences in price can put a lot of our planes in the red which cannot be verified on a day to day basis, hence we should have the ability to start our own frequent flyer programs by which only major changes in price say by 10% or 15% on routes with lesser competition and 6% or 4% on highly competitive routes can take away 80%-90% or even all of our customers.
Also we should be allowed to customize lounges( which i heard is already in the pipeline) and a few other Ground Services (also being developed).
I know that newer players will not like this but anyone with over 100+ planes and 200 + destinations knows what i am talking about
(say routes like LHR-JFK)

No I mean the option to start programs like say 1 Point for every $10 spent on tickets like real life programmes

Problem remains that older airlines get to benefit. :/ nope for me.

why not implement this only to airlines who fly to more than say 150+ routes ??? Or increase associated costs like say 8%-9% of the flight will be freebies with tickets bought on points ???

Harshil there is no point at the start. What does loyalty signify these days? Airlines these days are seeking for those passengers they do not get and not the loyal passengers - loyal passengers are usually treated the worst. :/

No, you do not get my point, if you are at the top tier of any airline (i mean in the real life) you will probably fly the same airline even if it is say more expensive by $50-$60, because you know can redeem them for free stuff. Same point here.
@Pineair -It becomes difficult to micromanage ALL the routes you fly.

No, I've had over 500 roues, just keep 100% load and sort
