Less passengers waiting at the gate - heathallen - 28-09-2006
First post..want to say "hello" to everyone. Also must say this program is awesome. It's got me more hooked on my flight simulator than I
ever thought possible. (the wife is just in disbelief hehe)
I started off with my own company flying a Cessna Grand Caravan and haven't purchased another plane yet to add to my "fleet". I'm trying
to save money for a Beechcraft King Air 350 (I love that plane) but I only have 700k currently. [should I buy another plane for the fleet
bonus to get me to the funding I need for the beechcraft or just save my money?]
So my question regarding the title of this post is last night there were only 6 people looking to board my plane and on the first 10 or so
flights there have always been 10. My company rating keeps going up steadily and my safety record is perfect. I haven't adjusted the
ticket price recently and I'm not sure why there are less passengers?
Could any of you suggest some obvious things that I'm overlooking that would make the demand go down? I've been flying between 3 to
4 cities in the mid south doing flights that are about 130ish NMs.
I see a lot of the questions posed in threads are usually a lot more techincal and advanced so please forgive the newbie feeling his way
thru this!!!!
THANKS!!!!$$$!!!

Hi, maybe you decided to depart from another airport? If you fly for the first time from a certain airport, less pax will be there. The more you fly
from a certain place, the more passengers will show up. It's just one of the possibilities though

That was my first thought, but I usually start out in KLIT on my way to KMEM. Sometimes I go from KMEM to KLIT. I checked it both ways
and checked KXNA which is my other airport that I often fly to and each time only 6 passengers when all the flights before there had been
10.
Maybe it was just a random thing that I was due for a smaller flights *shrug*
I'll check it again tonight and hopefully there will more people available.

Did you change the payload or did you use a different payload?

In the pricing tab in Company Manager I had changed the drop down from economy to custom. I thought I had kept the same ticket price
however.
When I changed it back I had more passengers than before.
