Is it against the rules......

There shouldn't be any reason for an airline to fly routes with a max potential LF of 50%.
Demand estimates displayed to you aren't always accurate. Actual demand can vary by as much as 50% from the demand you see in route planning, meaning a 200% loaded route could potentially have a LF of up to 75%...
Of course, in Jet Age, you can print money at a 50% loadfactor...

itsux: first of all I just wanted to ask you why you cared? yes, he might have oversupplied it but who cares?all you do is one of two things; pull out or fight back, simple as that. If you still think that rules are rules and that they should be followed and that he should pull back on the supply he is giving, then tough luck and welcome to the real world. I can name AT LEAST 55 routes that have the same properties that you describe this one as having. the biggest one I can think of: SAS Scandinavian flying a route with a demand of maybe 10/day with a 170-seat MD82. I see it all the time in games too. yes, it may be unfair but guess what: THAT'S LIFE. LIFE IS A BIATCHE, so deal with it. And also, I suggest you start thinking from Sami's point of view as well before you assume he is guessing. His answer is a very general, no-side-taken response that I think anyone would give, and if I was in his position I would have done the same. And he also wasn't suggesting anything. he was making a joke about what your message could have meant. I would have said the very same thing and I know for a fact that it wasn't meant to suggest that you were being greedy. And this nonsense about sami needing to be "more professional".......wow. just wow. If this was in RL and instead of AWS airlines they were real airlines, then I think YOU should wake up and smell the air because it is filled with UNFAIRNESS.
I'm really quite sorry if I come off as being a complete nose-job, but really. wake up to reality dude. ;)
good luck in JA guys and possibly see you in future v1.2 games!
Cheers,

Really guys! I understand that you all look up to Sami but this shiny-knight-horseriding-come-to-his-rescue is really starting to get out of hand. I'm sure he's a nice guy and he sure is running a great game, but I'll stand by that opinion any day. He can take it or leave it, no hard feelings. If it's too tough for you to see me criticize Sami then I suggest you revisit your own view on life, that thing with the "biatche" and "dealing" with things. ;)
When it comes to the matter of why I care, the simple answer is because it would be to my benefit. Simple as that. I wasn't sitting at home swearing and crying because someone wasn't "fighting fare". Real airlines/companies do this all the time! Price dumping, state aid, loyalty programs etc. Airlines sue each other all the time because like in AWS the real world is full of rules and anytime an airline can use one of those rules to their advantage they'll seize the opportunity, which falls under your second option - fight back. So no I don't really agree with your view of reality - I think I have a pretty good idea actually, of what the air smells like.
Good day to you and good luck!

mmkay, getting a bit off-topic already and I don't see any benefit of further discussion.. so let's give it a rest.
