Advantages of not carrying cargo

Hello,

I was wondering what the advantages are of selecting the "Transport only passengers (block all cargo capacity)" option when scheduling a route. Even if I have very little cargo to take with me (for example, 5% cargo LF), wouldn't that be extra profits? What am I missing? Do you lose money by having a low cargo LF?

Thanks in advance.

No, just keep it on. You can opt out of cargo if you for example wish to keep your passenger plane statistics clean and focus cargo flights on real cargo aircraft, or some other similar reason, but generally flying any amount of cargo is just more revenue with rather linear expenses (no fixed base costs).

there is one tweak which is loading/unloading cargo at top tier airports is hugely expensive. So for example I could NOT make a profit flying cargo LAX-ATL whatever I tried. So in this situation I would probably block cargo and let others lose money instead!
