I love when folks insist that they'll never fly the smaller RJs but insist on multiple frequencies daily to smaller markets. It is impossible to do both in a manner that remotely resembles profitability so the airlines don't. The fact that airlines are still cutting ASMs in many cases, and also that they are renegotiating contracts with regional suppliers (like DL cutting a ton of YX capacity and finally winning that lawsuit), means that there are fewer seats flying and the smaller markets are going to feel the brunt of those cuts.
