Hello!
This is going to take some explaining, so I apologize for the exposition. Before Beta and the 2-airline limit rule, I had 4 "subsidiaries" (so to speak since I know those aren't in AE yet) of an airline that I operated, and I combined my Hawiian and regional airlines to rectify this. This is causing a unique (and violently irritating) problem. The big issue is that I have 8 IFS set-ups: 3 classes for International/Mainland Hawaiian flights, 3 classes for regional flights in the US, 1 for inter-island Hawaiian flights, and 1 for EAS routes.
Whenever I switch one, regardless of where it is, it switches all the rest of them. This wouldn't be a huge issue, but because of competition, I can't operate any inter-island flights with even my economy class of service for the mainland regional or mainland-Hawaiian service. Normally, I'd just set it via the defaults on the IFS page... unfortunately, that messes with the mainland regional routes, so I can't do that without losing rep on those routes. And, of course, when I switch it to Inter-island, it switches up the mainland routes too, and it just becomes a hot mess of angry passengers and unprofitable routes.
So... yeah. The issue itself is that the IFS automatically adjusts itself to ALL my routes, even when I want it only for two or three routes. For the short term, I'm just making my mainland passengers suffer with the Inter-island stuff in economy, but if you can offer any advice, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks for all y'alls hard work on this game, though

It is a bug, I have noted this, and made a developer aware.
What I do is do my day's route creation and then use the batch tool by flight distance on the "configure IFS" page to correct them all. This sets them all correctly until the next time I adjust my routes. Its not ideal, but it works for the time being, until a fix is built.

Yeah, that's what I've been doing with the Inter-island stuff. Thank you for the quick response ^^.
Hey again all! Rather than starting a new bug topic, I figured I'd just add to this one because I noticed something.
Okay, so, the two bugs from before I've called out are the IFS being switched for all routes when you do it from one route page and the fact that some routes (mostly my shorter domestic and regional routes) need to be re-saved because the IFS or something gets calculated wrong and they start losing massive amounts of money before they are saved the second time.
Now, the problem is that when you do the "save defaults and update defaults" thing to fix the IFS bug, it resets all of those shorter domestic routes as well, which causes that second bug to trigger (so it's like I never re-saved those shorter routes, which are back to losing $10,000+ every day rather than making their usual amount). And, of course, if I go back and save those routes individually, it changes the IFS on all the routes to my regional level. And then it just, to borrow and alter the famous Hyperbole-and-a-Half line, becomes a positive-feedback loop of completely unnecessary money loss.
But I know you're working hard to fix both issues, so for now I'll just wait it out and let my profitable routes deal with my crappy, money-losing regional flights ^^.
Hope the new info helps!
Edited because I still can't tell the difference between IFE and IFS
