It is not that US need the revenue. I need the revenue.
The number don't lie. My bottom line is up $5000/yr flying consulting gigs to US out of BUF.
You also need to account for BLI-YVR (or wherever in the vicinity your ultimate destination is), as well as whether the connections and resulting time wastage are worth it. Obviously, with 9 people in your group, there is serious money to be saved. For 1 or 2 people, not so sure.
