My only option to remain profittable has been to close that route temporarily and try other routes

That comment was childish, its perfectly fair competition, it is definately simulating the real world, sure its annoying, but thats life.

No its not, what, is the guy doing the $1 profits supposed to sit there and let the competition take his profits? Heck no, I'd do the same thing to get unwanted competition off... Like Tango said, thats life.

In the early 80s when Frank Lorenzo had just taken over Continental, he offered $1 fares between Denver and Newark and many other cities. He did it not to turn a profit, but to make United, American and Delta leave those routes.
Wow, I did not know that, thats pretty interesting, thanks for sharing!

If thats his airline. If hes using "monkey air" to clear the route for his "real" airline, then its a problem. Even if it is just a tactic, as the airspace gets more crowded if everyone did this on one or tw oroutes, they'd all be ruined. Even if you succeed in getting airliens off your route, as soon as fares rise airlines will come back quickly.

" I dont think any other route in the game has that much frequency. "
or that much omnkey buisness. The Brunswickbug is clearly alive, well, and being exploited.
