Yeah, that's a good point. I still can't figure out why they have so many flights to small towns. Let's face it, markets like IAD-ATL have quite a bit of traffic. But CRW - IAD (or CRW - anywhere for that matter) is a marginal market at best, which would have been well served with 2, maybe 3 flights.

I don't see how that can be profitable without a 500% surge in O&D passengers, and while I am sure they have had some "Southwest effect" on their markets I can't see any of them jumping up that high.
