You’ve never particularly enjoyed flying, but the good folks at “You Dub” have found you a convenient three flight itinerary between Ottawa and Seattle with all flights being on the same airline. As an added bonus, each flight will be operated by a different aircraft, with each aircraft having been built by a different manufacturer. Identify the airline, the complete three flight routing and the three different aircraft involved.
Good thing I don’t have long fingernails because I’d have probably drawn blood after scratching my head for so long
YOW-IAD CO D9S
IAD-DEN CO 733
DEN-SEA CO AB3
I'm glad you survived this question relatively unscathed,
J. On a positive note, a good head scratch does promote improved circulation to the scalp, which may help stave off male pattern baldness in your advancing years.
As to question one, you are
CORRECT! I agree - Newark would seem the logical choice, but for whatever reason CO identified a viable market out of IAD with three mostly daily flights. I'm surprised they didn't operate these flights out of DCA, but CO had had a presence at IAD with flights from IAH and DEN since early in deregulation. Anyway, here's the itinerary...
Continental CO 795 Ottawa (YOW) 630a-755a S Washington (IAD) DC-9-30 X7
Continental CO 585 Washington (IAD) 915a – 1100a B Denver (DEN) 737-300
Continental CO 517 Denver (DEN) 1205p – 138p L Seattle (SEA) A300B
