Of course it is all about profit, and I would expect nothing less from a company. I don't know of any company that would intentionally lose money to appeal to 1 or 2 passengers.
Why would you run a company out of nostalgia instead of profits? I miss flying on a widebody DEN-COS back in the 80's, with sometimes only 20 passengers. I miss catching the 777 DEN-ORD-DEN pre merger....
I would love nothing more than to see more mainline aircraft out of my home airport on United, but United does not operate based on what COSPILOT wants, they operate on what makes money.
I could fly Frontier out of COS all on mainline, but no thank you.
