50% to 90% rep boost just by adding a bar seems excessive, I'll have to check the numbers on that.
The way the pax re-allocation thing works is, if your ticket price for one class is within 10% of the base price of the class below it (not average), some percentage of the class below will migrate to that class. So lets say base price for economy is $100, if your premium economy price is $105, some of the economy pax will choose instead to upgrade to premium economy. The idea being that if your average economy pax expects to pay $100, and they can get premium for $105, they would choose to upgrade.
Whether or not that's the best way to do it, idk, I guess that is up for discussion. I can probably give exact formulas tomorrow if you are interested. Maybe something needs to be added to the formula to limit the amount of pax that are able to migrate, as opposed to having ALL the demand for that class migrate, leaving you with 0 demand for the lower class. Which is probably not correct.
There are so many variables when it comes to demand it's extremely difficult to get them to all work together and work accurately and realistically for all airline types and all scenarios.
