We should make a thread to catalog all these anomalies.
here's one that doesn't work

MCO-MDW-PIT prices at two half tickets with only a 2.5hr layover.
I confirmed this in the 'buy now' screen it showed both an A and a B portion of the RR ticket being used.

southwest said it's becuase I chose my own route/flight times, when they do have non stop or one stop published service on their own listed from MCO-PIT

that makes little sense to me, because I'm sure the examples you listed which priced out at 0.5 ticket, southwest also sells service from your origin to desination
