I'd rather be flying one 3 hour flight than 5 or 6 30min-45min flights.

Regional airlines stopped doing regional flying 10 years ago.
Customers want:
Full size seats

2 or 3 lavs
free drinks
free food

choice of window or aisle
f/a that they can abuse
like to travel safer than in a car

If you want a cheap ticket then something is going to have to give. And that's services. i.e. extra lavs.

I used to do flights all the time from EWR to OMA,Kansas City, and Nassau in the ERJ 145 when i flew for XJT. Throw in winter time head winds and you were looking at 3 + hours easy, brutal for the pax but i didn't care, just put my seat back, feet up, and enjoyed the ride. Had to make sure i did my PDP(pre departure ****) though to avoid the walk of shame.

FWIW I flew from ANC to DFW a few weeks ago on an AA 757 and it was a miserable 6 hour flight. Window seat, row 20-something. Narrow seat, knees almost touched the seat-back in front of me. It's all how a particular airline configures the seats. Alaska 737 had a wider aisle, wider seat, and plenty of leg room. They did have a bulkhead w/ a door that separated the classes I guess, thought that a little weird.
