The point of my post is "Does anyone care that Colgan's operations are sub par and ruining Continental's reputation"? Obviously not as nothing is being done to combat the delayed flights
I had a feeling that is why you were probably doing, since ex-EWR can be pretty expensive. I just threw my suggestion out there because I figured with a F ticket, it seems that they charge a H or Y for that first leg, so it is significantly more.

But to your point--I think there just aren't enough people ex-BDL for them to prioritize it over larger cities such as PVD and BOS.

And I do realize how much you can sometimes save by using a CT outstation. I was helping a friend with fares to Spain last summer. Every major city was within a small range, but for some reason, we were able to get him a ticket out of HVN for something like $300 less than anything else.
