Why? For two areas that are roughly the same metro populations, clearly something else is at play here.
Montgomery has very crappy service, perhaps even worse than Mobile. Baton Rouge, on the other hand, has service that other areas of similar size would love to have. Apples to oranges.
My point was something I have always wondered about - why do two neighboring metros of very similar size have such wild differences in the quality/quantity of thier respective airports and air service.

I have flown out of Baton Rouge, Prices are similar as to Mobile and the service is about the same. I know because I use them both.
