My overall general point was there is sometimes an assumption that JBVs lead to more service. In fact, there being done to cut costs. One way to cut costs once you can clearly coordinate is to reduce service on routes that both parties serve.
When I flew to IAD in mid-October the flight was full in both directions.

Even if NH cuts the route, hopefully they'll add service somewhere else (DEN?)
