The operating costs associated with each flight are pilot, $150; first officer, $100; fuel, $30; and landing fee, $20.
What would be your recommendation for overbooking if a one-way ticket sells for $80 and the cost of not honoring a reservation is a free lift ticket worth $50 plus a seat on the next flight?
Develop a table similar to Table 11-7 and determine the best overbooking level based on expected cost (loss) approach. If you used Excel, copy and paste your spreadsheet here.
