I was sure I had read somewhere it would be west/east of the miss river for a divider? maybe that would make more sense haha anyway - whats done is done!
Yes, but ... ATL is still a good few miles down the coast. Remember that the aircraft start up to hit land around Halifax NS, and then drag all the way down the coast. There has to be a point along the line when BA says "Too Far".
Where do DFW or IAH sit in comparison to ATL?
