#29399 Petition against $1 (or just low) fares
Posted by marbergi on 04 February 2006 - 12:03 AM in Game Discussion (SIM2)
I apologies if I didn't make it clear form the start. Personally it doesn't bother me what people charge for their flights as I'am not taking part in the game - I was just pointing out that using the excuse that $1 or less fares occur in real life as a reason to use them here is ficticious. They are only used in AE to drive other's off the route or just to be malicious and anybody claiming otherwise is just fooling themselves.

hahaha PSA I see you have a route with $0 better make it $1 and all is OK.
I dont see the difference between $0 and $1 - cost wise it is negliable, and if you want to quote examples of real life Ryanair have offered seats at $0.00 on occasion so by that $0 here is ok too as if it happens in real life it's ok here.

Therefore if in the real world Ryanair (Irish Airline) can make a business with low priced airfares, then its possible in the AE world too.
I actually missed this in your original post otherwise I would have quoted it, and while it's your opinion and your entitled to in in AE no airlines could make a profit consistently charging $1 for their flights.
If you wish to prove me wrong using your analogy that it is possible then why don't you charge $1 on all your routes and let me know how that goes.

Therefore if in the real world Ryanair (Irish Airline) can make a business with low priced airfares, then its possible in the AE world too.
But lets not forget a few things things:
1) In real-life Ryanair and many other LCC's make a lot of money form other services like selling food etc, in flight.
2) Something as simple as people not turning up (they made @€40 million from approx 2 millions no-shows (assuming €20 per pax (including taxes and charges)).
2) How many of the seats on an average flight are for that low price 5-10 not the entire flight I can assure you - behind all good* airline website is quite a complex load factor algorithym (spl?) that constantly adjustes the ticket price to ensure that when a flight goes out it is at worst revenue neutral.
So anyway my point is that while in reallife €1 and even €0.01 ticket prices are possble they are only possible due to factors not modelled in this game so the comparrision is null and void.
*By good I mean technically not astheticilly - which by those criteria makes Ryaniars website one of the best.

#18618 A suggestion to stop cheating

Now before everybody start leaping down my throat let me finish - the cost of joining 1 cent. The reason for this - payment can only be made via paypal or similiar - this way it would prevent people opening extra accounts as they would need multiple paypal accounts etc.
Having been playing since near the beginning I've seen waht is a very good game dragged down by cheaters and I'm sure that alot of you out there will agree with me.

#12811 Price Dumping
Posted by marbergi on 24 August 2005 - 02:08 PM in Suggestions and Feature Requests
This would be better if it read ...and fines ALL airline with a -ve profit margin.(Or an airline on the route can push a button 'report price dumping', the system checks the profits of each airline on the route and fines the airline with the lowest fares.
Or simply stop people opening routes with a -ve profit. Much easier to implement. Just a few lines of code to check if the profit is > 0 when saving the route.
Edited for spelling.

I'm not overly familiar with the whole Brunswick/Navy bug to be honest but I think this may be setting it off as my lf's havegone from 50% to 100%. I reset my route and my lf's went back down to normal.
Also when I done a bit of investigating the airline has one beech with 3 hours on it. However, they have 100% utilsation of their gate at BKI (Kota Kinabalu International, Malaysia) and 60% SIN(Singapore) and 40% at KUL (Kuala Lumpur).

As I'am unsure what steps to take I will post this here so that others can keep an eye on him in different regions.
