I would think that a switch may prove to be a profitable business decision at this point. Especially like a smaller airport... Flint or Toledo as an example. 1 hour or less from the big Metro Detroit airport but with ""better security" aka non TSA

I'd fly out of there. Shit, I'd pay more just so I wouldn't have to deal with the dipshits who don't even know their own f*cking rules!

Then, even on a short flight you typically have to connect somewhere. Combine that with the all the hassle you have to deal with, the increased prices, the decreased service and it's just not worth it to fly anywhere on a short flight.
i agree completely.. of course they can always raise taxes er gas prices to combat all the driving so they have better chance to feel you up.. i have like a 20 minute drive to the airport so it is fairly close but i would still rather drive.. but if you check in online you can get there later, at least here, like 45 minutes before the flight..
