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.
Boomer, you're not being a dick..., in fact, you made my point.
Both scenarios above are precisely why this type of language would be beneficial. Delta
should fly a mainline jet between MSP and SEA and between CLE and JFK.
There is no benefit to Delta pilots, to have pax connect DCI to AS.
The whole reason why either is permitted in the first place is to feed Delta mainline flights...
