Or make money thru other means such as ancillaries, credit cards, etc.
it’s a wet dream to serve these cities 3x a day everyday. The planes will go and comeback empty.
that’s why legacies have various seating #s, various classes/configurarions, and B scale regionals.
Just from memory, so FWIW. When SWA bought TRA they were four times the size, and had one third of the amount of destinations. Maybe a smaller denser route network is better. I am no expert.
