Two possible scenarios:
1) Someone wants to fly Delta from Cedar Rapids to Seattle. Since there is no direct flight, Delta routes him through Minneapolis. Say the Cedar Rapids-Minneapolis flight is on DCI, and the Minneapolis-Seattle flight is on Alaska. How do you put him on a Delta flight? Do you refuse to sell him a ticket?
2) Someone wants to fly from Cleveland to JFK. Say there are 4 DCI and 2 Mainline flights each day. How do you force him onto the Delta flights if he wants to fly at a different time?
Not trying to be a dick... just wondering how it will work since not everyone who buys a ticket from Saginaw to Detroit is connecting to Paris.
