I think there is always a certain percentage of people that will take the cheapest flight possible, regardless of creature comforts. Probably a lot less of them on this board. I'm thinking Skybus targeted CMH for OSU, it's not a bad drive to Dayton, Cleveland, or Cincinnati. They might survive longer than you think. I don't think Skybus is going to put AA out of business, it's employees will do that, but they could take a few bucks off the bottom line.
