Also noticed that on their new schedule, think the SAX Q400 started to hurt there.

I have a big issue with this kind of machine gun scheduling- 2 flights per week? Why bother? I say commit to a route and make it work then expand to the next one- you don’t have to fly there 10 times a day but I believe anything less than one frequency a day or you will never stand a chance to make money (even more so given the poor average fare that particular route produces), chances are if the route cannot sustain you with that bare minimum then its not worth the bother- all you are doing is making ACSA /ATNS/ Equity more profitable- Mr O I know you are reading… There will never be a chance for 1T for build that route-SAA will never stop flying there- a reduction in capacity was proposed for the new timetable….naturally those impish scheduling buffoons were suitable nuked/castigated/castrated and I’m sure they are now probably looking to schedule the 744 over Christmas on the route!
