I agree... service from the Mobile airport is lacking greatly. However, the airport is stable because of its use by business travelers. In the Biloxi-Mobile-Pensacola "metroplex" Mobile is the most profitable due to having a sizable demand year round for time-proximate bookings by area businesses. According to data, flights out of Mobile are more profitable than at either GPT or PNS. Airlines just do not want to add service because it would dilute the profits made by higher-demanded, lesser-supplied flights.
Plus: Mobile Regional is not publicly funded.
