Scotteo,
Are you at Salford? One of your lecturers is a buffoon as far as i'm concerned. If he's the one i'm thinking of, he is the one who set you that AOC task, and it's garbage. The idea of forming an airline is nice, but to dictate a route (as the previous year had to do) is just silly. I am friends with someone who had to do this, and they had to run a route from the Isle of Man (which is already oversubscribed) and were told which aircraft type to us (for which performance data was hard to come by). You'll just end up ripping off a suite of manuals from Ryanair/Easyjet/Thomson/*Insert airline here who someone knows works for*
