US Airways has little if any real concern about things like "image" and reputation. If these guys could make a superior return flying from SUX-FRA there would be a SUX-FRA route.
Andrew Nocella is a very smart guy and US rarely starts a route that ultimately fails. Some that don't yield what they might like but on balance this one area that US excels at.
I was shocked when I wrote in a suggestion for a flight and received what appeared to be a personal response from Mr. Nocella. Alaska ended up doing the route and making money, but I'm sure Mr. Nocella was right and it wouldn't have worked as well for us.
