He's right as far as he goes, but it's not only the regional jets that are killing FlyI. Presidential Airways tried exactly the same trick in the late 1980s -- an independent, no-interlining LCC hubbing at IAD -- only with 737s and Bae146s. Presidential didn't last two years. Nobody has yet explained to me why Indy is any different. They sure haven't doen any better; even worse in fact. You know what they say about people who fail to study history...
