I have started my airline with one 737 operating 2 dally services to Washington and DFW from my hub but still not making a profit should I ramp up in flight service prices in order to make a bigger monthly profit, also should I save so another 737 or go for something cheaper like a ATR

Put up Scam IFS and open routes where no competition is there...

One 737 takes up too much maintenance to make good profit. Sell that one, get two or three ATRs, and then go for niche routes (Both ends about 2M-3M demand) where gates are cheaper. That way, you can make profit faster.

Thanks for the feedback the issue is with the ATR it does not have enough rage or capacity for the routes I'm apportioning, I looked and I found that I had to many staff and so that was the reason I was not making allot of profit.

Find a route with little to none competition and make the most out of it. The key is patience and good timing with the used aircraft market. You can either save up for the big plane (737) or immediately buy up a small cheap plane (ATR, Bombardier etc.). Eventually you will be able to serve the routes that you want to.
