I do not see this a problem, it is only a B19 and would have to be a ticket price of $200 so would make money ok.

Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) - Dallas Love (DAL)
12 NM

look at another top operator in this also, they do it....

Ah, another gate hogger. Pretty soon, you'll need a A345 to connect all those gates that you can get in the game.

In the past, I have run 36 legs EWR / LGA and a ticket price of $400 and with a Beech made $40K profit. I have also placed a beech from less larger PAX locations and made 12k DOP, so it all depends on the locations you run to make any value

Elite Air why not tell us what that route brings in for you, I would expect that you make 20K min.

Yes, thats a great idea.

At less than 25/50nm, its only 5% not 50%, the amount increases up every 25/50nm.

That is the general rule however there are some routes out there where this does not apply.

LIN - MXP for example to name but one.

I know for a fact it applies on Osaka OSA to Osaka Kansai KIX.

I could only get 5% even though I played The new Avril Lavigne song in Japanese, to sample the ambience of my OSA - KIX flights of yore click here
