Then a friend tells you about an alternative method involving only one airline with what he claims is a very easy connection. "You can fly right out of our local airport which is just up the road. Now it's a small turboprop but it's a short flight to your connecting airport where you'll then connect to a nonstop in first class to Boston." And then he states you will not be connecting via SFO. Your first flight departs at 11:34am and arrives at your connecting airport 12:09pm. Your second flight departs at 1:20pm and arrives in Boston at 9:40pm. Identify the airport you will be departing from, the airline, the connecting airport and the aircraft types.
this was still in the era of the AA hub at San Jose (SJC) ... Walnut Creek was certainly served through Concord (CCD) (although I didn't know until just now that there was any scheduled service there)
as for equipment, how about a Jetstream 31 and an MD-11
