Incoherence in limiting pax - explanations welcome

Hi all, Hi Sami,

I have an overnight route that I manually limited to 100 pax while the demand is around 55. I had the warning, and lowered it to 80. Again the warning, and 70, and again, and now I'm at 60. And losing money as the Y seat capacity is "eaten" by C & F that are not bought on this route.

Nonetheless, the computer still tells me that the route is oversupplied.

Maybe did I found out something incoherent that might explain the fact that I still have the oversupply message, but I don't know why it's that way.
- The general pop-up analysis says I'm supplying 60 every day.
- The sub-pop-up analysis (return only) says that I'm flying thursday return flight w/ 120 pax capacity !!! (I checked, it's limited to 60).
- Than again, the same sub-pop-up analysis (return only) says that I have a 0 capacity on saturday return flight !!! (checked again, it's limited to 60 too).

It's in GW#4, Buddy Holly Airline, Flight # 1255/1256

Thanks you all,

We just had this discussion over in Bug Reports. (Not a bug, BTW, it's always because one day is a different departure time and the return flight ends up on the wrong side of midnight, thereby doubling-up that day.)

I looked, and it is because your Thursday and Friday flights leave several hours earlier than the rest of the week. This slides the return flight to before midnight. So you have two flights departing the outstation on Thursday. It doesn't matter that they are 20 hours apart, they still depart within the same calendar day.

Oh, ok :-[
Sorry for bothering and making a new thread. And thanks for the answer.
