Well, I have only ever redeemed any of the last 5 million frequent flyer miles on a flight from Glasgow to Barra, and last year, 19 of oneworld's most frequent users went there for a party. So, whilst some routes are not the most key elements, they might just be of interest to those who actually pay your salaries. I have also owned a Shetland based business, and the flights are very significant to the local community. The 1W link is important to businesses but not that many tourists.
