Can't wait to see what "more profitable" route gets added elsewhere in exchange!
Not sure if 'cash cow' is the term I'd use, but when you're trying to fill a RJ145 that seats 50 people, naturally there aren't going to be a ton of $100 fares, as an example.

UA still uses UAX for flights to BOS while B6 and NK are using full sized jets.
