What's the biggest challenge in component pooling?
The challenge with pooling is ensuring you have enough components, but not too many. If you overstock your stores, you end up tying up capital, which is what you aim to avoid. For instance, an airline might pool only for 0.3 units but expects to have one when they need it. If you don't have one, you risk losing the customer. That's the biggest challenge. There are different models, but a good one is to pay per hour.

It's exactly two years from the last event to the next event and you try to bring all your airplanes in the wintertime into that network.
