Yes, they should just pay to have extra planes sitting in a hanger all year that they only take out for high travel periods /s
Maybe they shouldn’t sell tickets to seats on planes that don’t exist or aren’t in service.
That aside, many companies are now trying out the latest management craze… ‘Run to fail’… That is, running equipment until it fails (and fucks everything up) is cheaper than doing regular maintenance. They don’t care about the pressure and stress it puts on employees or customers, they just care that it saves a couple bucks.
Do you not understand that the supply (number of planes) is constant throughout the year, while the demand (number of fliers) fluctuates? If the supply enough planes for everyone to fly at peak times there’s going to be tooons of empty seats throughout the rest of the year. They’d then need to raise everyone’s ticket prices to pay for those extra empty planes, and people just aren’t willing to pay the extra price for the convenience.
Please explain to us why they are selling so many more seats than they have available.
