I agree with one and the other. I mean when I configure my planes I sometimes spend 2-3 hundred thousand dollars so that the passengers have "luxuries". Also another question i have and don't wan't to open another thread is ..If I have a combined passenger rate of 134. That's supposed to be 134 a day right? So a 150 passenger plane that does 7 flights a week, why is it that my "frequency" is till in the red or yellow if I'm fulfilling the pax load...only when there are competitors and I'm doing 22 flights a week so I notice the bar getting green...and how do I still manage to get 100% on all classes/load when now I'm doing 22 flights a week...??
Flying 7 times per week is nothing. You will need to fly with smaller planes to fill 22 flights per week, but your cost per available seat mile (CASM) will increase then.
BTW does having a "great" IFE system on planes really affect route reputation? And it would make more sense if i could see the money I'am making,or loosing through advertisement and other areas. certain IFE configurations get 2 star ratings and others get one star but do they add to overall customer happiness. I mean in order for (in my experience) for someone to get green in the IFS bar you need to "loose money" whereas the IFE could somehow make it even. I give items and food away free and passengers pay for my IFE services so not a total loss...So back to the previous question...does IFE impact flight ratings?
"IFS Reputation" in "Route Manager" consists of 50% IFE and 50% IFS. Even if you have 5* IFS and no IFE the "IFS Reputation" will not be higher than 50%. You can make money with both, IFE and IFS. But in AE reputation sadly doesn't matter a lot. An airline with scam IFS and IFE, that brings $150+ per every passenger per every return flight, will just have to lower your prices by less than 10% to take the majority of passengers away from your airline.
