If you wish to look at CVA operating as a real airline would with expenses and trying to turn a profit, then it matters. If you could care less, then it does not matter.
When you fly a flight with an aircraft a class higher, the fuel usage will be greater. Since the flight was supposed to be flown with a smaller class aircraft, the passenger load will reflect that and the total passenger income will be less therefore higher fuel costs for the passenger load.
For example if it was supposed to be flown by an ERJ-145 with 70 pax each paying $125, the total flight income would be $8750.
If the ERJ burned 4700 lbs of fuel, the fuel costs at a generic $1/lb would be $4700. This would give us a net profit before paying the pilot of $4050.
If you now fly that same flight with the LDS 767, you may use 9200 lbs of fuel. Since we only took in $8750 in passenger fares, your fuel usage would give us a loss of $450.
And I bet you would still expect to get paid too... ???

I change it up all the time. For instance, flight 6028 from YYC to GEG is scheduled to be flown with a DHC-6. I chose to fly it with a 738. I updated the number of passengers in FSAcars when I set up the flight to 148.
Now, when I look at the log of the flight, I see that it says:
Gross Revenue: (148 load / $ 150.00 per unit) $ 22,200.00 Fuel Cost: (6990 fuel used @ 1 / unit) $ 6,990.00
That gives me a gross profit of $15,210.00
So the VA finances should be ok, right?
I think where the problem comes in, is if a person doesn't fill in the number of passengers when starting your FSAcars log. I could then see VA financial plugging in a default (and much lower) number of pax for the flight and then screwing up the finances, yes?
Bottom line, gotta get these damned pilots to fill in their paperwork properly! LMAO
