Basically this feature is to help out smaller airlines.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Service_Obligation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Service_Obligation)
What it entails:- Having a list of routes available to tender for that would otherwise give little or no yield (Any route with Poor demand)
- Montly payments would be made provided certain requirements are met on an on-going basis to a sucessful airline
Constraints- Airline must have less than 50 aircraft
- The airline may not have any aircraft larger than 150 seats
- A cap of PSO routes would be placed (Approximately 10)
- Minimum service requirements would also be placed (Such as a minimum of 50 daily seats with atleast 1 round trip by any combination of aircraft. [1 X ATR42 or 3 X Do228])
- All routes are vetted by admins
- All routes are valid for 1 year
Any more suggestions/improvements/comments

Yea! Its the EAS system in the US.
Wouldn't this by point-to-point flying then???
How would this work with the current flights from bases only?
What would stop another airline from going in 'at-risk' and trashing the route?
I'm typing while I'm BBQ'ing a big rack of Pork Ribs, so I probably seem a little incoherent.
But damn this is a very interesting turn...

Yes, see below.

We'd have an exception to that rule, the scripts allow for it, just need the technology to be implemented.

The second airline would not be subsidied, so what they are doing on the route is pretty trivial!
