Not an option since we took the government cheese.
We have to keep flying to these places.

A lot of the smaller airports have one mainline flight (an 88 or 717) to comply with scope.

But when you’re flying ATL-AHN or ATL-BHM, you’re losing money throwing any other jet on that route that you can’t fill even when times are good. The difference on those short legs is minimal (hence why the 88 was flying all the short legs out of ATL)

You going to give up some bottom scope to get rid of them? What else would you fly in there?

When was the last time Delta flew ATL-AHN? ASA in the Bandit?

717 does charters for UGA out of there. Bad example, but you get the point.

Nope. Now is the time to recapture scope, at all levels. I wonder if they're scrambling to find 10 year old copies of Sky to drool over all the green on the left side of the route map...

Agreed...that was my point
