Although I find this game a lot of fun, one minor detraction is spam airlines that schedule an unrealistic number of seats on a route.   I'm currently playing in one of the open worlds, and, to take just one example, the top-ranked airline has scheduled over 50,000 daily seats on the route between Galesburg and Dubuque.  I'm guessing there must be some bug in the game that allows them to reap unlimited profits by doing so.  This problem could be solved if every airline was limited to scheduling no more than 2x or 3x the number seats than the daily demand on any route.  For example, if the route A-B had a daily demand of 100 seats, then no airline could schedule more than 200 or 300 daily seats on the route.  This would allow all airlines to compete fairly.

unfortunately this has been a thing for all the time ive been a part of the game, there seems to be no chance of it ever going away

I strongly agree with this. Just yesterday, I saw someone schedule 20,000 seats for daily demand of a mere 36 seats, that's just ridiculous

I disagree as this would detract from the freedom players have to run their airline exactly as they wish.

The thing is, there are millions of routes for you to explore from

 

For example, Australia has several major as well as regional airports. If you see full route in Sydney and Melbourne, try operate international flights from Perth, Adelaide, etc.

Why squeeze for that pie of Sydney-Los Angeles when you know eventually you will lose money?

Not worth it at all in my opinion

 

Another clear example, if you are operating Los Angeles-Shanghai Pudong and that route is oversaturated, then you can consider opening Los Angeles-Shanghai Hongqiao. But some spammers, already have big profit LAX-PVG, still comes in for LAX-SHA when he clearly sees that LAX-SHA is already filled up.

LAX-SHA has 300 seats as of 2007, go grab that if it is empty.
