MSP and DTW to CWA are pretty much exactly what DL said they were going to do with the CRJ200's.
Unless they went to only once daily on a 900 or a 717 the CRJ200 is it for small markets like Wausau.
And with most places if there is only once daily service it tends to have 1 flight out in the very early morning to the hub, and one flight back very late.
Then you get the lovely situation where you get to fly in the night before to CWA for the next day's meeting, and then you have to either drive to another airport or hang around another night to catch the once daily departure at 6AM.
Seems to me that an hour on a 200 beats two nights in Wausau!
