My observation is that MX while chasing incentives, hasn't cut and run to the extent that Avelo has. Station exits on the whole I believe is lower at MX compared to XP. You're right, though instead of cutting and running, MX cuts schedules/seasons at a frustrating level for those offering the incen...

It is. All of breeze's new cities have incentives I mean, at this point in the Air Service Development cycle, there's virtually no route anywhere in the world that is launched without an incentive. Incentives can run from basic marketing dollars to fee waivers to full blown cash subsidies/MRGs. But...
