It doesn't work like that. You cant get 210 people out of/ in to Moline Il. once a day... but you can get 70 people out/in 3 times a day.

What he's talking about is that the industry has shown three flights a day are the minimum in most markets. People don't want to fly from MLI to ATL, they want to fly from MLI to CDG, LHR, or AMS (John Deere). They don't want to get on the 7am flight out and sit in ATL all day waiting for their international flight. One flight a day would destry any reasonable chance of connections. This is partially why large RJs will never go away completely. They simply can'ty fill a 717/319/737 three times a day every day.
