i've had a slight drop in my established routes but i opened up a few too many routes at once so i'm haemoraging oodles of cash for the next few months.

Ban, how does opening too many routes hurt you as long as they are full?

The automatic personnell hiring function keeps your company overstaffed and when you change to manual management you end up firing some employees. That is why your company image went down. The changes in your profit and LF may partly be caused by this.

they're not full my new routes tend to start at between 20-30% and gradually build up.  i've not quite learnt the best pricing lvl for new routes.

The Route Planning Function is probably the best thing I have ever found.

you're welcome, my 747 is now starting to make a profit, i lowered the fare another 5%. 

Lowering the default fare by 30% at the start seems to work for me, and gradually raise it back up as the seats fill up.
