Now, there are major corporations located in these small towns - corporations that rely on air transportation. With the loss of this service, the corporations will likely leave the small towns and move closer to the major cities. They expect 2-3 flights a day.
So, they expect 3 flights a day (150-240 seats) a day. You're telling me that once or twice daily service using a 717 (117 seats) wouldn't cut it?
