If I were traveling alone I would not have a problem doing the two legger as my phone pretty much glued to my ear all day long and prductivity woud not cease....

With an employee it should ber a direct route.....I have sent a status match request to Delta and if granted I will make up my mind before Jan 1....

Being in Detroit itrs hard to get a direct flight with AA anywhere. 9 out of 10 times going to ORD is a regional jet....The flight to DFW then ELP is always an MD80 or larger....

I may have to swith to Delta...
