The gravy train the regionals enjoy is a result of the contracts they have with majors. Not criticism or flaming, just a fact.
You should also then be clarifying that while flying is getting cut in the east it is getting added in the west. Pretty much nothing in common with INDY. No Flaming, Just A FACT. The XJT brand is doing much better than INDY ever did. While some routes are being dropped they are tweaking the routes. Would you expect it to be an Instant success?
