Bigger planes require more fuel (and at point can’t fly) = higher ticket prices = fewer ticket sales. and each empty seat costs more for AL

Biggest planes = more fuel = more expensive. More people value cheap flights than comfortable flights!

Bigger planes have higher upkeep costs. Furthermore, ff they are not filled, the company is operating inefficiently and thus losing profits.

Expensive costs to run bigger planes. Bigger planes require more cargo/customers to fill to be profitable/break even.

Merely the profit maximization can’t represent the success of a business. Using the profit equation overlooks ethical business values.

Although teachers can teach ethics to students, it is ultimately up to the student to decide what they believe in & whether to act ethically
