8. O’Connel Airlines is considering air service from its hub of
operations in Cicely, to Rome and Seattle. O’Connel has one gate at
the Cicely Airport, which operates 12 hours per day. Each flight
requires 1 hour of gate time. Each flight to Rome consumes 15 hours
of pilot crew time and is expected to produce a profit of $2500.
Serving Seattle uses 10 hours of pilot crew time per flight and
will result in a profit of $2000 per flight. Pilot crew labor is
limited to 150 hours per day. The market for service to Rome is
limited to nine flights per day. O’Connel wants to obtain the
highest possible profit.

the relationship between each airline’s market share, in terms of
revenue or airline seat miles flown, and its profitability for two
periods: 1995-2000 and 2001-2005. Does your analysis suggest that
market share is correlated with profitability in this industry? If
you exclude Southwest Airlines and Jet Blue airlines from the
analysis (companies that use “point-to-point” route structure
rather than a “hub and spoke” route structure), how well does
market...
