Is All Y-Class Really The Best?

But should I really convert all my planes to fill all economy in the densest way possible? Will this even more accelerate my growth and land me with a trophy reminding me of my accomplishment?

It depends on your strategy. If you are going for connecting pax with prices raised above default (which is arguably the best strategy for a valuation-competitive airline) then it is, because you can get away with a price increase much higher for Y seats than F or C, as a proportion of the base fare.

Sshh! Keep the magic a secret!

I've reached the point of the rankings where the distances between 25 and 26 are as great as between 111 and 147. And as I climb my way on the rungs to dominating the U.S, I've been told using F and C are simply unprofitable, and from my Route Finance tab I've noticed that Y simply dominates them.
F and C are very profitable and often serve as insurance if an all-Y carrier undercuts you etc. However, Y is by far the most profitable if used correctly. However, most do not know how to use it correctly.

Consider F and C for Long Haul.

What about all C and Y?

2 class. Yep. That definitely works. But it makes pricing much harder

No. Y alone is always the best. If one has the correct approach using an all-Y configuration, a single C seat could ruin it.

(and before you ask, everything is crappy on purpose; this is sort of a troll airline)

The only problem with it that jumps out at me when looking at it from a profitability perspective is that you have a couple of aircraft families where you don't have many aircraft. I'd suggest either keeping the orders going for them or phasing them out in favour of aircraft you already use in larger quantities (depends on your goal for the airline). That being said, it's not a big issue by any means.
