>>1990127We could have had a system of ultra efficient regional turboprops operating from every single little local airport feeding giant hubs specializing in funneling in all the feeders and putting people on massive jumbos to other hubs where you reverse the process and take a puddle jumper right to your destination.
Instead we got a moderate amount of medium sized airports located somewhere outside a city that require everyone to drive themselves there in cars just to sit in some sort of A737neoMAX that brings you to a "large" airport that doesn't excel at anything, and unless you want to stay in NY/Chicago/LA you have to get on another 3x3 shitbox to bring you to a medium sized airport somewhere kinda sorta near your destination.
What happened? American perspective obviously but is it any different anywhere else?
