I know what you're saying, and I agree with the sentiment, but I'm afraid you'll not have much luck doing so, unless you fly something like Southwest or Airtran. Many airports where NWA is using RJ's currently, are also primarily RJ only for other carriers. I can think of several airports where NWA is one of the only airlines to not fly only RJs...GRB, SDF, ROC are some examples.

(I'm trying to get to DAY/CVG for a wedding this summer, and am not having any luck avoiding RJs.) Ugh.
