Being an airline guy prior to going to UPT, I found it comical that the USAF taught/approved us "direct" to a fix, using DME, an RMI, and the bottom half of your pencil. In a T-38, doing 10NM/min.
I didn't explain that method very well. Probably about as well as my "directs" looked on a radar scope.
If you remember doing this, I guess you understood it, sort of.

Think what you're referring to is "fix-to-fix" navigation. Something I'm not sure anyone "fully understood" in UPT, or thereafter.
For your reminiscent pleasures though, I've included a link for remedial training.

Its the asterisk I mentioned.
Look at the help screen (F5) for the swap template.
ie=
*03 01OCT would mean you want any 3 day trip on October 1st.
You put *3 or *4 or*10 etc, etc. instead of the rotation number.

meanwhile over at Alaska Air:
Q3 Capacity +6%
Full Year Capacity planned +8-9% YOY
Adding 25 new Boeing 737-800 & 737-900ER in the next 4 Years
Parking 3 737-400
Net gain of 21 jets out of 117 mainline AC or 18% fleet growth.
5% of AS revenue provided by Delta codeshare...
Cheers
George

Well done, sir. Well done, indeed.
The crazy-assed mixture of T-37 RMI's and smoking-hot underboob is making me feel funny.
