1. It’s late 1970 and 747s had been in service for less than a year. Following a thorough perusal of the relevant OAG, I have identified a total of four domestic coast to coast routes being flown at the time. Identify the route and the airline(s) flying it.

So far, we've identified:

JFK-LAX AA TW UA
JFK-SFO AA TW UA
IAD-LAX AA

That is very oddball indeed, J. So here's one final hint, and if you or one of your fellow participants can't figure it out after this one, I'm going to have to suspend you all from participation for a week. Or something.

HINT: The airline was not AA, DL, TW or UA. The flight did not originate from BOS, NYC, PHL or IAD. Remember, we're talkin' transcon here... Atlantic to Pacific.
