2. More flights will be added to their 12 most popular routes from Boston (AUS, CHS, ORD, CLE, DTW, BNA, EWR, MCO, PHL, RDU, DCA, and SAV) to increase the Boston market to 175 daily flights.
3. Underperforming routes DCA-BDL and DCA-TPA will be cut to reallocate the DCA slots to DCA-BOS.

I am really disappointed by #3 . I have used B6 several times to fly DCA-TPA and the flight is always nearly full. I was just on TPA-DCA on Wednesday and there were only a couple of empty seats. They were my much preferred carrier since the E90 is way more comfortable than a 737 or A320. Very sad.
