The only other option that comes to mind for flights east of the Mississippi is Eastern Airlines. The routing just doesn't seem very Eastern - unless maybe it continues on to St. Louis ...
18- this one is really hard to swallow, but there's one more out there ... Ozark ... as with Seat 2A's comment about the routing, yeah, unless the jet went on to STL, it just doesn't seem very OZ-ish - and I don't ever recall OZ in DAY (but I only started frequenting Wright-Patt for Reserve duty in 1983)
