I suppose you could make the same argument and justify slashing highway funds. Great idea...let's go back to the good old days when it took a month to drive cross country before Ike discovered the value of Interstate highways.

Ever considered that 5 MILLION lbs of salmon that came out of Kotzebue a couple of years ago? How about the huge fish run out of King Salmon last summer?
EAS assures pax AND freight service to WRG, PSG, YAK, CDV and Kodiak. You may remember that Kodiak hosts a critical Coast Guard base as well.
How about freight service to BRW and SCC? I guess you missed the importance of keeping the oil flowing off the North Slope.
Ignorance is indeed bliss.

If there is a financially viable reason for air carrier service, it will come. If not, it shouldn't exist.

As soon as the fracking boom came into being a few years ago, all the major airlines starting greatly adding and increasing flights all over BFE North Dakota and surrounding areas. I flew many flights filled with greasy dudes in Carhartt paying a lot of money to get to what seemed like the ice planet of Hoth in January.

Because it will make the pilot shortage worse which will throw the economics of it out of whack. This will cause companies to go under because they can't staff their operations. Also it will hasten the move to automation as a result.
I support elimination of EAS because I see it as corporate welfare, even if I am the beneficiary of it. It's just not right to steal money from one group of people and give it to another.

Automation is on the way, but still 25-50 years from displacing pilots from 121 carriers. As a pilot (or doctor, lawyer, architect ...) you should actually want a shortage of labor in your field.

Yeah, if you're greedy and don't mind others being hurt for your benefit. But if you're a decent human being then you want the market to be as close to equilibrium as possible.
