If you want to buy a hydrogen weapon, you must go to Amarillo. I don't know, the last time I was there was 27 years ago. T38's, Falcons, 737's all over the place..Terrific airport restaurant.

You are right. I used to fly a 4 day never leave Texas trip.[Back when DAL said SWA was no threat.] I guess when they blew off DFW most of Tx. went also. Since they don't go there, they don't need to spell it. So why is Amorillo on the blue screen... I'm so confused

Might as well be. With that non-rev priority, you are more likely to catch a ride on a passing submarine than on an airplane.

The last month before I got furloughed back in 2003 I flew an entire month where every single layover was in Michigan. I welcomed the furlough.

Last downtown DTW layover, walking towards Cobo,stopped by the police, they gave me a ride.... said it was easier than doing the paperwork. By the way Inkster is aptly named.

Ummmm in foreign ops?? Singapore?? Noooooo perhaps, your airline it may be SOP to specify IFR vs IFR in the request, unless you get your's through ACARS.

But in my part of the world the airlines of professionals don't need to specify as such.
