I agree. I have noticed business travelers hurry on board 50 seat RJs and fire off one last phone call talking about finishing up business sooner than expected and pleased to be getting on the earlier flight. I remember watching one guy hang up and complain to the guy across the isle about the size of the jet after such a conversation. In the future he will not have the earlier option at all. The economics are what they are, and frequency will be cut.
