The thread title should have been "DL Adds Atlanta - Lincoln Nebraska (LNK) in the Fall"
Not all the city codes are known by everyone and a good way to introduce them is to start out using the name of the city or region before the airline code.
Not a terribly big deal but for the non-revs living around Omaha, Nebraska (OMA) an alternate way to get home or out of town can be beneficial in a jam.
I have a feeling that Delta is going to be opening a whole bunch of service to smaller out of the way cities albeit with Regional Commuter Air Carriers.
Service from ATL (you knew that one didn't you) to Rochester MN (RST) was recently announced. You won't need to go VIA * to get medical treatment !
* I threw you a curve - there is no city for VIA; It is the Canadian (Passenger) Railroad.
I'd say that sometimes half the fun is in the challenge of knowing that city, and if not, it's a quick Google (or CEC LNK if using our res system) away.
RST-ATL? I mean, I get the mayo clinic is there, but that's nuts. Wish we had more of those flights that go beyond the region's hub from the smaller cities. A nonstop flight DEN-EAU would put me in heaven, but that's not going to happen in my lifetime (or at least not within my career :) )
When I googled EAU, the first hit I got was the European Association of Urology! :confused: I then typed EAU into flightaware (which I usually do when I don't know an airport code) and came up with Chippewa Valley Airport.
That's the one! Well, the name of it, at least. If you're sitting in ORD (if you don't know that one then so help me...) the monitor will show Eau Claire, WI. I went to school out there and worked at the airport for about a year and a half before moving on to a big-boy job with UA.
EAU = Eau Claire, Wisconsin about 100 miles due east of the Twin Cities (MSP) on highway I94 easy 2 hour road trip.
In yesteryear North Central Airlines flew a DC-3 from MSP to ORD -
First stop was EAU = Eau Claire
next was WAU = Wausau
then STE = Stevens Point
then MTW = Manitowoc
then MKE = Milwaukee
and ORD = Chicago
with the return trip it was an all day event.

Return with us now to the thrilling days of yesteryear "Airline Route Scheduling"
There is more here than just North Central Airlines - - - - -
Memories - memories of the fallen flag airlines !
Oh, I'm sure the days of airline scheduling are still in full swing. Probably a lot more computer-aided, but I do know there is a lot that goes into airplane-route-timing planning. But I'm sure even those problems are so complex, no current computer can solve the problem in a reasonable amount of time. Geeks-in-training can check this wikipedia page: P versus NP - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I don't know for sure that this is considered an "NP" problem, but with all the different factors to work with (aircraft availability, fares, expenses, expected passenger loads, etc) I would be absolutely shocked if it weren't.
In days of your...NO that's not right, you’re.....NO still not right, yore (yup that's it) :cool:, my carry-on always contained an AA timetable.
The route maps with lines, what a great visual.:cool:
We have a route map in our in-flight magazine :) - a little hard to read at times, though still good for one-stop inspirations I suppose...
To complicate all this factor in pilot and flight attendant scheduling and positioning aircraft for routine maintenance and having a ground crew to clean/resupply the aircraft for the next day.Quote:
