Nick I have to warn you, DFW/MSY & MSY/DFW-AA have given me more fits than any other routes. It is my grelims route.

I plan my trips to N.O. with the efficiency of a kid opening his presents at Christmas. I check loads for weeks before the trip. Carefully check weather forecasts (trust me, if there&#39;s a thunderstorm within a 100 miles of Dallas, there is a ground hold in MSY). I have back-ups MSY/ORD/LAX- MSY/STL/LAX- MSY/DFW/anywhere in the entire US including HNL/LAX and still there is a 50/50 chance, I&#39;ll end up spending an extra night in N.O. or watching flights out of my connection city.

My tale of woe

--- broken towbar, flight delayed-miss every open flight out of DFW
--- A few members of the University of Texas band miss their flight- it&#39;s goodbye LA, hello Chicago snow and flight delays.
--- Snowstorm on the East Coast and I&#39;m in the AA&#39;s DFW hub. I got to tell you, a lot of pax don&#39;t react well to a board full of CXL flights.
--- Combination of a late arriving flight and a gate change to the other end of the T--we run like olympic sprinters, but were one giant leap short.
--- Equipment change, my 763 becomes a 757.
--- (This happened years ago, but is still vivid in my memory) A pax pulls the emergency stop on the AA tram(DFW), I&#39;m stuck on a tram.

I think you get the idea. Sometimes I think it&#39;s me.

I think the funniest part about that was that you had an HNL backup for NOLA... what the!?

Hmmm I didn&#39;t think it would be that bad. In a bind I could nonrev out on WN, but that&#39;d waste half a buddy pass. Is DFWSAT usually much better? Don&#39;t know if we will even bother, I have a lot to get done in the big d as it is
