RAAMJET, I think I understand what you are trying to say. However for that logic to be valid all of the 50 pax flying LBB-DFW, MAF-DFW and AMA-DFW would have to be connecting to the DFW-BNA flight. This senario is remote to say the least unless there was a free beer and barbeque reunion for West Texans at the Grand Ole Opry. Assuming you are an AA pilot, do you think the APA TA will ratify.? Probably no need to ask.! All the best.....
