I have traveled in some of the Micronesia backwaters like Majuro, Pohnpei, Kosrae and Yap, and even have talked with tourism officials at two of the places. Imagine trying to promote your country's tourism when you've got only one airline flying there that's out of your control, charges monopoly rates and has a ho-hum attitude about promoting the destinations. CO has even recently downsized the aircraft and cut the route frequency in some cases in Micronesia. Doesn't make sense.
Amen! Their fares are terribly monopolistic. While I'm no expert, it seems the markets could support more frequencies. Ho-hum is an understatement...
