Revenue Management Assignments II. San Francisco Express Airlines, SaFE for short, flies from PHL to SFO. On a Thursday evening flight, the number of last-minute no-shows and cancellations is Poisson distributed with mean 7.5. SaFE has an unlimited number of low fare travelers who pay $300. The cost of bumping such a passenger is estimated to be $350 (due lost good will as well as the cost of routing their itinerary through other airlines). SaFE offers this low fare because it also comes with a cancellation/rebooking fee of $150 – if a customer doesn’t show up for the flight or cancels her reservation, she must pay $150 to use the ticket on another flight.

1) To maximize revenue from this flight, how many seats should the airline overbook?

2) Customers are more reliable on the Friday evening flight. On that flight, the average number of no shows and cancellations is Poisson with mean 4.5. Suppose SaFE overbooks that flight by 6 seats. What is the probability that at least 1 passenger will be bumped from this flight?
