I watched a YouTube video about a 40 minute flight from Parkersburg to
Beckley, WV. The flights then go on to Charlotte.  It's a flight
subsidized by the government for rural access. Beckley's airport gets 2
flights a day and maybe gets a passenger a day.

What bugged me was that the flight is limited due to subsidy rules to 30
passengers. They took the back half of the seats out. Why not take out
every other row, preserve the look of the interior and give people some
space (albeit for less than an hour) instead of cramming them all at the
front?
