So go ahead and drop IAD I'll go elsewhere, as it is this is pushing me to the brink; its pathetic that Washington Dulles has either 3 out of 4 flights a day (or is it 4 of 5) on an RJ to IAH. I am not doing 1190 miles (3 hours) on a stinkin RJ. If they make it 4 for 4 on RJ's, I'll be calling the friendly skies or MRTC, either option is better than this crap to Houston that CO is shoving up our backsides

How is a connection (with the actual and potential inconveniences & hassles) better than a nonstop? Sure, a connection might be OK on a leisure trip, but for time-sensitive business travel, a nonstop flight on ANYTHING beats a connection anyday.

Besides, how can CO be blamed for matching capacity to demand? The failures of AA and UA are in part due to their inability to size their equipment to what the marketplace can economically bear.
