Especially premium travelers don' accept a proposed itin starting with a CR9 flight from SAT to ATL, then being placed in a plane potentially being older than myself (MD80, 757, etc.) to MSP or DTW (sometimes they even manage to fit a short connecting through CVG), and board a TATL already sweaty and gross ...
BS flag here. There are three daily SAT-DTW and two daily SAT-MSP flights. Why would you ever be connect to either through ATL? Second, there are seven SAT-ATL flights daily, not a one a RJ. Besides, if you are the shooter you claim to be, in a CR9, you'll be in the front in a really nice seat. It is going through MEM that leaves you open to the CR200 possibility -- and that is a death sentence.
Sorry to steal all of your drama with the facts.
