Companies that try to reduce costs rather than increase revenue eventually tend to fold, because you can only reduce costs to zero (and you'll go out of business long before that), whereas you can increase revenue indefinitely.. Cost-cutting is easy for even the stupidest corporate officers to understand, but it's a poor, short-term, emergency measure, not a competent way to manage a company.- Hide quoted text - increase revenue indefinately hah, do you want to give us a list of companies that have done that? and just out of interest which companies have you managed? or perhaps you are simulating company management? |

But pax numbers were not mentioned. All else being equal, fewer flights equals less utilization of assets. If pax numbers per flight are also changed, that has to be specified. |
