We do not choose the biggest planes because the cost of production and operational costs are higher.

The cost of fuel, labour, and maintenance for bigger planes will be too much considering the number of passengers remains constant.

Bigger planes cost more to maintain. Since WestJet does not fly international flights, will people be willing to pay extra for leg room?

Bigger planes means more costs and maintenance, bigger damage to environment, need of a larger storage space leading to increased price.

The cost to operate a bigger plane is substantially larger than a smaller plane in terms of fuel costs and maintenance.

Bigger planes = Heavier –> Weight.–> but passenger demand wouldn’t flucate too much.
= More labour cost due to more flight attendance. -

Costs of fueling bigger planes is much greater than fueling the smaller ones. Also there’s usually enough space on the current planes.

Easier to fill small plane = max seating. Smaller plane = lower cost/flight than bigger plane.Max seating + lower costs = efficient profits.

It’s inefficient. You won’t fill up a big plane on every flight route, so you’re wasting costs on a plane too big for your job.

given that the number of customers stay the same, the bigger the plan the higher the cost. this lowers the profit of the company

The cost of producing and maintaining a bigger plane is much more than the extra amount that customers are willing to pay for more leg room.

Saying you’ll do the right thing is easy. Doing it is much harder.

Business should focus on values. If they do well on the ethical aspect, profits will come naturally.

The fact that students decided laying off workers in the theretical situation does not neccessarily mean they would do that in reality…

At school, we can create good atmosphere here. It’s true that ethics is important for us to learn. so I think it is a good idea.

When a business tends to maximize value instead of profit, they are likely to be more successful.

It is extremely impersonal to look at employees as an equation, within that equation there can be successful workers
-

This example took place in a classroom;therefore non-realistic.Hence,students will consider other factors if truly immersed in reality

We learnt that in order for a business to be successful, they must take into account the well-being of their employees, not solely profit.

It is difficult to train people to be ethical. They know they should be but they just don’t want to.
-
Danielle Lim
Although we see the justification behind the equation, it isn’t entirely ethical as it doesn’t account for other aspects of the employee.

Also, it is more cost effective to fly a greater number of mid-sized planes to a variety of locations, rather than to fly few big planes
