I had no idea that "milk run" had an actual definition.
When people use the term here, do they mean something different than an uneventful flight? (The context is often these short little RJ flights or shuttle-type flights, but is that relevant?)
Wikipedia gets into the term in a different context - the trucking/logistics industry - but that obviously isn't what we're talking about here.
