Have you tried changing the f default prices? I've had a rout hit 9999 per F class passenger.

This definitely does sound fascinating.

Michael please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the all Y strategy is better when competing for valuation because the price increase you can get away with when using a connecting passenger strategy is proportionally much higher in Y than in F and C

 

It's irrelevant, The actual margins in f and c are much greater. Percentage price increase doesn't really matter. It's the actual price. A purist y strategy sacrifices profits and entire markets. It makes 0 sense when services are properly tuned. As for checking someone's airlines for their status? Also irrelevant. A whale among guppies is still eaten by shark.

 

I prefer to play with all rows of teeth.

F and C are a success in Long Haul but Y wins the market most of the time. 

 

This is why I compete for all 3. I soundly disagree with Michael. I think the all Y strategy ignores opportunities and is likely to lead to predation.

If you're in a real world scenario with no competition you should be able to charge much higher than 700. Try stretching your fares. Don't use scam IFS, it hurts your rep. If you don't have at least a moderately strong rep you won't be able to draw a decent fare. I'm on a real world scenario with competition using (L-1011-500) at 6 flights a week and drawing 500k per flight. My prices are much higher.

 

$5,000 F $2,450 C $1,275 Y

 

Also, if you're not tapping F, and C, only transporting Y, you're missing out on huge per-seat margins.
