Yep, point to point connecting every city nonstop. That would be a much "greener" way to go.

Do you think more regionals with pop up? Maybe more Q400s doing directs?

They fly PDX-PHL-BWI. I'll bet its even a through flight. I booked my parents on Airways to SXM a few months back. It was $800 rt from PHL-SXM and back. Going DCA-PHL-SXM and back through CLT was under $400. Same airplane from PHL down, but they will lose money on the 175 flight from DCA-PHL to jack up their premium.

Sitting and waiting 30 minutes to get parked doesn't help the cause. Obviously the airlines don't care that much about fuel....

Wasn't there a thread about him a long time ago? Did he go to WMU?

And yes, not the greatest article. There is no one solution to the problems of air transportation.
