Alpha leases the airplanes at the cost of $5000 before and including 10 A.M. and $3000 after 10 A.M., and is able to lease at most two per departure slot. Also, if a flight leaves for location N in a time slot, there must be a flight leaving for location L in the same time slot. The expected profit (in $1000) contribution before rental costs per N flight is shown in the table below. Formulate a model for a profit-maximizing (after deducting rental cost) schedule.
