Plus, short haul routes have other problems. If I have to be at the airport two and a half hours before scheduled takeoff to park and go through security for a scheduled 150 mile trip, I can probably just take a bus and beat the time.
Fungibility is an economics term so I don’t know what you are saying here. To the second part you do know that people are traveling 150 or less to a hub by air are connecting to/from somewhere else so that really isn’t an argument. Instead of saying the CASM is high, prove the CASM is relatively high.
