Even if it's true, that has NO bearing on ticket prices. Strickly supply and demand.
Your kidding right......do you have any idea how much overhead there is at a regional. They are also guaranteed a fixed profit margin. Skywest has made $300 million in operational profit last year. So that's - $300 million + $500 million in other overhead(overinflated rental fee's), including management(which is a big one). In other words if the regionals didn't exist, this career wouldn't be in the toilet. Management just redistributed the cash flows into their pockets instead of your's. If you don't believe me, come be a top manager at NWA; your bonus check has pinnacle airlines printed on the top of it.I'm still curious what was used to determine that mainline is cheaper than the regionals.

Not really -- a nonstop flight has intrinsically more value than one that makes a connection. Is your time worth that price difference?
For a businessman closing a deal, absolutely. For an underpaid pilot taking a vacation, no. That $700 is worth a lot more to me than a few hours in Charlotte, so the latter is what I'd book. But it makes perfect sense for a nonstop to be priced higher than a connection.
I know the price for non-stop is more than a connection. My amazment is the cost of getting from ATL to JAN. Yet, you can go to LA or even Europe for less. In fact, we were running late into CLT and his connection was at risk. It's not a better deal if you don't make it.
