Your think the IAD to the "Springs" is egregious??? Look at the following.....
IAD-COS @1450 NM's roughly....
vs
DFW-SFO @1470 NM's roughly....
In their "Northern Hemisphere RJ," SkyWest flys 3 to 4 flights a day (depending on days of the week) DFW-SFO.....THAT's the kinda segment that needs to STOP!!
Per the 2012 stats, UAL flys a 70 Seat RJ multiple times a day from the 9th (DFW)---->12th (SFO) Largest City in the Nation?
GMAFB.....Just another example as to how SCOPE needs to be brought in check, NOW.
