Why would someone take a 1000 mile ride on a small RJ with 31" pitch with one flight a day????
BTR's service isn't much to write home about, and in fact on UA is actually marginally less frequent than that to/from LFT.
LFT-DEN must be hoping for O/D traffic or as a connection on an all-RJ itinerary, as I can't see many choosing a mainline-RJ connection to LFT in DEN over a similar connection in IAH. Great to see the additional service from my hometown and hope it lasts, though.
