Maybe they will not pass up an RJ but plenty certainly "book" a mainline flight in the first place. I fly for the military about every other month and get to book my own flights - I always book mainline.
Now if I got to the airport early would I pass up an RJ? Generally no, if it would get me home earlier.
Passengers "like" frequency but they "love" low cost.
