Living in a remote area is an expensive decision individuals make - if it’s a reservation/tribal land then we need to support them because they were forced to be there… but for other remote communities we should be reasonable with the resources we divert from other important expenditures to subsidize their choice to live in remote areas.
The small routes are already so heavily subsidized (directly by the government as well as by the the 4 profitable routes) that this won’t make a meaningful difference.
The conservative argument that “the government doesn’t care about rural areas” falls flat on its face.
