I always knew EA operated the 440 into places like Beaumont/Port Arthur. It didn't immediately come to mind for schedules between two large cities such as HOU and MSY. Possibly this flight originated in somewhere like Corpus Christi...

Then again, it could be an Electra. Still, I don't recall seeing many of EA's Electras ever scheduled west of Atlanta...
