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.
Market development? Is that some sort of oxymoron?
Of course, if you don't advertise, you can throw airplanes at a segment and when folks don't come cancel it and tell everyone how stupid they were. I guess network just hopes that word of mouth and the intraweb thingy will solve all of their problems.
