They just started OMA-CLE recently and the flights seem to be doing fine. Why they scheduled 3x daily only to pull it completely before it even flew is indicative of a lack of demand. I wonder if they ever considered trying 1x when they saw the demand wasn't there. Also don't know what the fare may have been like.

I was shaking my head 4/10 when two ERJs departed OMA for IAH, first one at 1441, mine at 1505. Both flights pretty full, why not make this jet service? 1441 allowed nice connection to PHX while later flight had me sitting there for 3.5 hours. Of course I don't know how AA mess contributed to the situation. I just continue to remain amazed at how they think people actually enjoy sitting in that little tube for 800 miles!

I just wish I had miles or $$$ to fly BF.
If you are already ticketed then the only thing you would lose is the non-stop. Getting from CLE to LAS with a connection would be the solution at that point.
