    This is so wrong. You honestly believe the government is subsidizing regional flights in and out of small airports?

    Of course the government subsidizes airlines to many small airports in the USA. It is called the Essential Air Service. I believe every airport in the U.P. is subsidized except for Marquette.

    We should give the UP to Canada. Or maybe trade it for Greenland.

    Well that’s honestly a surprise to me. Thanks for the sources. However, even still the vast majority of air services affected seem to be tiny prop planes with fewer than 20 seats. I wouldn’t call it a “huge” subsidy.

    Can’t say that I am. I had Olympic hopes in wrestling at one time, but knee and shoulder injuries at the wrong time kind of ended that dream.

    Then of course, everybody tried out for the Trojan Games.
