The way I see it, scenarios like this would be driven primarily by two values: Reputation (mentioned) and market. One market would be
VIP, another would be general travelers, business travelers, vacationers, etc. Your company would be setup to target a specific market
and your reputation within that market would effect demand that you generate. Now, where the actual O&Ds come from, that's another
story. For general traffic, you would be running scheduled services but VIPS would 99% of the time likely be charter style and that begs
the question: do you want to start generating point to point flights within FsPX? There was a program called charter pilot or something
that did that; I think it was by Abacus but, not sure.
FsP mostly (if I understand it correctly) deals with passengers onboard your aircraft. The scenarios here would be more of a world
environment for, generating the demand and getting them onboard. You could use your reputation and target market as a way of
determining what % of any area would travel with you but, you need a baseline demand value for every single city pair possible for that or,
a determining value in every airport so that citypair demand could then be calculated. That is, unless you don't mind seeing "silly"
numbers like 75% capacity of a B744 flying between KACK and KBGR. (Not in this life!)
I guess it all depeneds on how far you want to go with the idea.
