The optional argument for the plane configuration doesn’t really work for my particular situation, and I think it can be improved.
I use B727-100s with the configuration 126Y 1J 1F, since I find it to have the best ROI. I initially tried maximizing the F class (0Y 1J 43F), but it makes the same amount of money while costing $400k more per plane.
I tried specifying “YJF” in the optional config argument, but it still effectively prioritized J and F class by ranking routes with not enough Y class demand on top, which results in J class seats which technically makes a little more per trip, but at the cost of much more expensive plane configurations.
I have a few ideas:
- Add the ability to specify an exact config such as “126-1-1”.
- Add the ability to specify just one class (e.g. Y), which excludes routes with insufficient demand in the desired class to fill the plane for a full day.
- Add the ability to specify ranking routes by Return on Investment, by factoring in the cost of configuring seats (each J class seat costs $5000 and each F class seat costs $10000).
