Jump to postLAXintl, your perspective only takes into account one aspect of an incredibly complex decision - unit cost.

Jump to postLAXintl - you prove my point exactly. Who is the consumer at the macro level in this situation? The major airlines. They refuse to pay $1 more for a service (regional airline feed) because of the commoditization they have created within the market. I won't address the rest because it is baseless.<br...
