Excuse me. I own you. Or will. You shall now your head when typing a post in my general direction. Was your head down? did you say Oh Captain My Captain?
I'll buy this airline by its own assets or something. I will give you a gift, I will say RJs.
Now that I own this airline you may wonder, does FTB want to be a master that is loved or feared?
Both.
I want you to fear how much you love me.

I fear the glimpses you give us in to the deep reaches of your mind!

So cap the seats and only sell the excess in the higher buckets during ultra peak times. Bonus: happy revenue generators when they non rev and a smoother operation for the many thousands of employees that don't "commute by choice".
But seriously, just cap the lower buckets if the flight is a money maker and don't trash yields just to fill up the plane for the same total revenue as a half full plane.

I guess it really is better to have 3 full 50 seaters than a single 737-800 at 90% load factor because you're wasting that 10%?

Ok I'll keep the razor handy. Yes, all the reserve days are after my vacation (last 10 days of the month). Assuming I get a trip in early to mid May, there isn't very much they can do with me in April. The AVL was 73, so the 3 day to NRT or AMS is it........and those are white/greensliper wet dreams when they pop up

I've been concerned for awhile that we want to show load factors vs total cost of the good provided for sometime now. I honestly think we are leaving money on the table in several markets by flying full smaller jets. PHX to SLC pops into my head right away. Our competition flys full 737s and A320s and all but two (early morning and late night) of ours are Skywest RJs.

If we don't then its mismanagement on our part with revenues. Why push more seats into lower buckets just to spread the exact same revenue of the flight over more seats on the same flight? What are they teaching at the RASM/CASM schools these days? Fill-em-up no matter what? Its better to carry extra weight for the same total revenue? No wonder there's "no money in cargo".

RASM-CASM=Operating profit
What makes the RASM or the CASM matters not. A MD90 could be a 757 replacement, a Next Gen CRj900 could replace a 757. A 737-900 could replace a 757. They all can attach to a jetway and fly 1,000 miles at around Mach .79. (The CRj actually does the profile better than the Douglas product, hey, 50 years changed the way they build wings)
Gloopy, you say they "suck at math." Not really. They suck at forecasting markets five years into the future when an airplane acquisition is really a 15 to 20 year look see. They also tend to screw up and make deals that looked good at the time, but which fade when the variables change.

Hey quick question, does the pilot group need to approve a rate on the 717 if they decide to bring them on property?
Or is their as predetermined way of setting a rate for a new aircraft type that is brought on property?
Just wondering...
