Seats may not all be filled up, costs/ticket price would increase, no guarantee customers will not choose competitor airlines.

Because the plane could be too big for the number of customers, and more fuel could be used unnecessarily. Higher maintenance fee as well.

Much more operation costs come with bigger planes which would lower the profit. Inefficiency of possibility of having empty trips also occur

Realistically, airlines understand that customers will buy airline tickets regardless of “leg room”. (Inelastic demand) @cabahugj @shannipeng @shiyunliusharon

Bigger planes = more costly (especially for fuel). Sometimes the costs aren’t worth it – ex. for short flights people may not care as much

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.

@xiaoyanqiao Business students should think more about balancing the business profits and the ethics at the same time.

We think that the reason why those students seemed cold-hearted is that it’s based on hypothetical case rather than a real world situation.

The goal of a company should not be solely on profit.

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
