Obviously we could solve a WHOLE lot of problems by upping the capacity of each plane and reducing the frequency. So let's say once a month we run a 747 in and out of Burlington, VT, that should take care of everything.
You didn't catch the sarcasm?

Behind price the second thing people look at it is departure time. That's why everybody leaves at 6:00AM out of bum-f!*k, KY.
No, people leave then to make their connections at the hub, so that they get to where they are going at a reasonable time. Hub and spoke.

I'd bet $$ that if people could leave 2 hours later but get in at the same time, they will chose the flight that leaves 2 hours later (especially for those 6 AM depatures).
