What does the flying public benefit more from:
1) The ability to go nonstop from their small hometown to the capital of our nation?
2) The ability to get a $39 airfare to Orlando when Southwest adds 10 more flights?
DCA is a hub. A hub brings a lot of benefits to an airport. And theres nothing wrong with an airline having a hub. If anyone needs super cheap fares for their once a year visit to Florida, BWI isn't far away and has more WN than anyone would ever need.
