There are plenty of examples. eg American Eagle flying ERJ from Arkansas Regional (not a hub) to La Guardia (also not a hub) without going through either DFW, ORD, or STL (all AA hubs). Moreover, in many cases airlines use RJs to get passengers to bypass their competitors' hubs. Best regards, Stefano
