Heck, AA used to fly DC-10s...FULL between DFW-LGA!
I gotta absolutely agree with you. Market development is something like CHS-BNA or ROC-ORF.
Market destruction is putting RJs on what used to be a full widebody route, or connecting MAJOR hubs with RJ only service then calling it feed. I dont care what anybody says, when I commute on a 50 seat RJ, it is uncomfortable... Poor mainline service beats great 50 seat service. Bigger than 50 seat should be a mainline aircraft.
