If I give you a concrete example, it might help you.
Let's take the case where a regional destination is served by a small player and a large player.
There used to be a program that subsidized all carriers for the price of a ticket for a regional flight by paying the difference between $500 and the total cost of the ticket.
A microbusiness or a very large business could provide flights, because we thought that would help regional air transportation.
In the end, it wasn't the small players who saw an increase in volume, but rather the large players.
In your opinion, should the federal government adopt this type of policy?
