Gentlemen, this is pretty much a summary of everything that scares the *** out of me. Sorry, but I had to vent this out somehow

For instance, DAL MD88 ATL-CHO-ROA-ATL? ATL-TYS-CHA-ATL?

It used to be done that way.

Those where the days, AA use to do alot of that as well. One i was on a couple times a year as a passenger was an MD-80 DFW-OMA-DSM-DFW. Something Southwest seems to do on all its routes.

Less & less every year though. Almost everything goes through MDW, PHX, LAS, DEN, STL, or BWI.
