I've edited it to try and add some clarity as to why it exists at all. Some of us already understand it, maybe more will at some point, and probably very few of us will ever need the whole table .

However I though what you posted was useful and therefore I wanted to link to it rather than try and write something myself.
I pretty much agree as well. One of the things I've learned / inferred by putting it together is that most of the routes probably have a better 210TP + 60TP option. I wasn't as aware of that before, so assuming knowledge is a good thing we're ahead.

I would suggest that a small subset of the routes may be worth calling out in the intro posts. Those mentioned here are potentially more useful because they start and end at a station that doesn't otherwise have accessible 2000+ segments.

Here are the stopping routes for them:
Code:
BOI -> PHX-BWI/AA618
BWI -> PHX-OAK/AA1974 PHX-ONT/AA2519 PHX-RNO/AA531
DTW -> PHX-OAK/AA493  PHX-OAK/AA531
FAT -> DFW-LGA/AA1201
OAK -> PHX-ATL/AA610  PHX-CMH/AA514  PHX-DTW/AA412
RNO -> PHX-FLL/AA553
RSW -> ORD-SNA/AA2360
SNA -> ORD-RSW/AA1076
It might be interesting to see how quickly they become out of date.
