If this is considered a bug or whatnot, please move me to the right section.

if ya look at the numbers for the economy class, they just don't add up.

 

I been noticing on competition routes that this is happening a lot.  so i  add more flights but the competitor keeps the same percentage of passengers.

 

what gives?

Well, some his PAX are in the C class which will stay constant regardless as to how many flights you add seeing as you operate solely in a Y configuration. The rest I'd say are his connecting passengersdue due to hubs / alliance which you also don't really have access to once you've conquered the all the O&D passenger market.

Connecting passengers are not counted in the % figure, just O&D.

I did not count his c class pax.  just the Y.  and what i dont understand is that my # and his # added up is way over the weekly #

True that!

this is becomming more and more frustrating.

 

now when i compete for passengers, no matter what i do, the competition will still have some.  i just saw a route where i have 2K of Y pax and my comp was beating me with 3+K of Y pax and yet the weekly route was just above 2K of passengers.

 

is this normal?  sounds like a Game Breaking bug to me, but i am new,

They're just the most loyal customers of the other airline, nothing will move them to ever consider yours ...

Always, i believe you are missing the crux of my frustration.

 

2794 + 825 will never equal 2758

 

or more extremes

 

2000+ passengers plus 3000+ passengers will never equal just above 2000 passengers

You have too much time on your hands.

The reason why there's 3500 pax per day is because the price is under default price. If you halve a ticket fare, you'll end up taking in many more passengers than you would at full fare (See: any budget airline ever). Now go and just enjoy the game, rather than trying to crush someone else's routes.

f(x)=2x^2+37

[joojoo1975]

thank you guys, that's what i wanted to find out.

Haha, that number is a suggestion. Even at full price by overloading the route you can fill some extra flights. If it's like a 2000Y pax a day flight and you have a 180Y 737-800 putting it on 12x a day you can fill them all at standard fare.
