Always wanted to post this but never had the time to plot the graph.

Red dots represent passenger preferences. An airline choose to position itself at Y and C. Passengers will purchase tickets where price is lower and service quality is better than their personal expectations. Hence all passengers in area y goes to Y seats and c goes to C seats. e will be split according to the ratio of the distance between E-Y and E-C. Passengers in white area are untapped market.

 

Given passenger distribution function f(n) (in this graph I use 96/(4*x*x+5*y*y-8*x*y-512*x+384*y+20481) anyone has a better equation?), volume of y can be obtained by integration for f(n) over p to r and 0 to q; c by integrating f(n) over r to ∞ and q to s.

 

This is not just for distribution of passengers over different classes within the same flight, but can also be used to model competition between airlines.

Neat numbers, it's cool to see the workings of AE visualized.
