How 2 and 3 stop flights will allow us to have connecting passengers without a hub
 
We at LLC Airlines eagerly await 2, 3 and 4 stop flights so we can better serve you, our customers without Hubs.
 
How this will be done:
 
FLL > RDU > BWI
FLL > RDU > CLE
MCO > RDU > BWI
MCO > RDU > CLE
 
BWI > RDU > FLL
CLE > RDU > FLL
BWI > RDU > MCO
CLE > RDU > MCO

# of daily flights:
FLL > RDU x2
MCO > RDU x2

BWI > RDU x2
CLE > RDU x2

as this example shows, with 2 and 3 stop flights there is no longer a need for hubs or alliances;
as shown in this example by flying multiple 2 stop lights through one city it is possible to simulate
a focus-city without a hub or an alliance 
 
so say if we wanted to add ALB and TPA into the mix ?:
then we would just increase the number of flights to/from RDU to 3:

FLL > RDU > BWI
FLL > RDU > CLE
FLL > RDU > ALB
MCO > RDU > BWI
MCO > RDU > CLE
MCO > RDUALB
TPA > RDU > BWI
TPA > RDU > CLE
TPA > RDUALB
 
 
BWI > RDU > FLL
CLE > RDU > FLL
ALB > RDU > FLL
BWI > RDU > MCO
CLE > RDU > MCO
ALB > RDU > MCO
BWI > RDU > TPA
CLE > RDU > TPA
ALB > RDU > TPA

# of daily flights:
FLL > RDU x3
MCO > RDU x3
TPA > RDU x3

BWI > RDU x3
CLE > RDU x3
ALB > RDU x3

this process can be expanded endlessly by adding 2 airports at a time into the mix

by profit do you mean staying in the black or do you mean profit margins highers than 20%. Also, you didn't answer my question regarding widebodies. you have 2-2 in F, but on a wide body there are 2 aisles. so do you just have 1 aisle and make it humongous?


We at LLC Airlines are in the process of re-doing our cabin layouts, more on this soon ...

This doesn't answer my question whatsoever regarding your definition of profitability.

my definition of profitability is having flights that make money ($ positive) , also look at our above post:

again, we at LLC Airlines are in the process of re-doing our our cabin layouts
(we are currently studying the issue with Open Office Calc to figure out what the best cabin layouts are for each aircraft)
 

we need alliances because 1. it looks cool. 2. we play in R-Worlds unlike you who plays in the Open scum so we need worldwide coverage. this can only be attained through alliances and partner airlines.


We at LLC Airlines like the ability to create Terminals and Hubs in more than one country
(when AE4 is released there will no longer be a need for hubs, just terminals)

Question: Why are you using OpenOffice Calc to create seatmaps, when all you need is an existing seatmap and a calulator? :P

Question: Why are you using OpenOffice Calc to create seatmaps, when all you need is an existing seatmap and a calulator? :P

 
Using it to dynamically calculate the seats for each aircraft type (OpenOffice Calc IS a calculator)
 
.................................................................... - ?? (how many fewer Y seats do I want than the maximum Y seats specified in I5)
.................................................................... G3 
 
Acft Number .... Acft Name .... Empty ...... # F Seats .... # C Seats .... # Y Seats .......
A5 ................... B5 ................ C5 ............ D5 ...............  E5 .............. F5 .................
 
.......... =IF(I5=0;0;SUM(I5+G$3)) ........... =SUM(I5)-SUM(D5+E5+F5) .... Max Y Seats for aircraft without any F or C seats
.......... G5 .............................................. H5 .......................................... I5
.......... if I5 is 0 then G5 is 0 also

 

 

Empty .... Acft Range ...... Acft Turn Time ......... Acft Family

J5 .......... K5 .................... L5 ............................ M5

 

Rows are repeated downward for each aircraft type

right, but all you need to do is:

Let x be the pitch available in the plane.

no. of rows * seat pitch = x

x - (desired seat pitch * desired rows) = seat config. Frankly I don't see where OpenOffice Calc comes into play. Frankly, your formulae will result in inconsistent seat pitches as you are using "How many fewer Y seats than max config" which kills it.

That is a function to evenly reduce seats so the aircraft "full" range is longer -

Ie with no passenger reduction (red max passenger number in add flight) by the AE flight thingy

 

the number (-40) is just a suggestion however the numbers in F, C, and Y affect the number in H letting you know

how many over (-14, -4) or under (6, 16, 26, 36, 46) you are

oh yeah thats right, because your F is 38", J is 34" and Y is 28"....i get you now, that's why you actually gotta factor in your plane being penalised coz it's flying out at near MTOW.
