Hi all,
I was wondering how the frequency rating is calculated & how relevant it is toward route reputation. I had a flight from YVR (Vancouver) to YYC (Calgary) with 28 weekly frequencies (4 daily) & a pretty nice frequency rating (well up the bar in the green territory). In a bid to try to make my airline somewhat more realistic & to increase capacity on this route, I decided to use a slightly smaller aircraft (CS100ER vs A319-100) & increase the frequencies to 63 per week (9 daily). This is a bit more realistic as in real life between the two major carriers that fly this route, there are somewhere around 20-25 daily flights on this route.
Anyways, the pax are flying as the planes are full so there's not really a problem, although I did notice a significant drop in the frequency rating on that route. I would have expected that increasing to 9 daily from 4 would give pax more options & therefore be considered better. Is there any reason why the rating is lower & will this also be the case when the next version of the game comes out?
Thanks.
