As mentioned before the connection times may be increased, but how much fun is it to sit at #20 for departure in DTW for a 20 minute flight to LAN/FNT, etc. </font>
You raise a great point. The longer the scheduled layover, the less attractive connecting flights in the 150-300-mile range. Why sit around the airport for three hours when you could go get a car and drive to your destination city in the same time? The rolling-hub model might not make Airlink too happy.
