WSB at work... aww

 

It seems like every time somebody tries to do a straight shuttle service, they F this part up.

While you can't have a set price, you can have a set formula and not tie it to customer buy-in.

If you just figure out what the average passenger/mile cost is on a route, it should be a no-brainer to set the price, and let it run. . . or once again, is there something I'm missing?

 

I suppose, logically, the more customers that buy, the cheaper the overall fare for each individual?

But then again, we can't really tell how full the plane will be beforehand. And forecasting isn't always accurate

 

I'm not sure I know what I said up there but... yeah

 

Well, right now, it's tied to a buy-up rate of tickets at certain intervals. . . one of the guys that helped design one of the current formulas worked here for a stretch.

The forecasting is theoretically reliable, but the forecasting is also tied into a formula (as WSB was hollering about) that dictates that the last 20% or so of the plane will cover 80% of the per plane revenue.

I'm saying that the formula should start looking at an aggregate route analysis. Once again, maybe there's a variable I don't grasp in this thing.

 

oooh so is that why the longer you wait the more expensive the fares?

:shakesfist:

 

It's not my problem you don't pre-plan. . . like the rest of us.

 

 

If you pre-plan, you certainly have no place in the Corner...

 

Planning , what a concept...
