The dynamics of commuter air service changed forever when the airlines ditched turboprops for jets. The fuel burn plus the cost of fuel make short flights in jets cost prohibitive. Blame that on the flying public, they didn't like the Twin Otters, Beech 99's and Shorts 360's :-)
Toda, what your missing is the economic impact of private aviation. Someone has to build these expensive machines, someone has to fly them, someone has to maintain them. We are not talking minimum wage jobs either. Airplanes are taxed just like houses. Shouldn't the owners be entitled to something in return just like a homeowner? The return on investment to society is huge! Your pointless rants are lacking in any critical thinking.
