i don't think they would.

i think all airlines should have this as an option for people that fly short flights. it's not their fault.

plus, these short flights often have the highest $/mile (unless Southwest is doing something aggressive like in Texas).

If CO can convince anyone to pay the A fare on some of their TX routes they will earn $3 per seat mile. That makes up for a lot of 5 and 6 cents seat miles in the back. (On a short route I am sure this yield is higher, but many people on these short routes are making a connection on a cheap ticket).
