Purpose of "continuing flights"
Why do airlines have "continuing flights" -- AUS-DFW-COS, for example? They seem like a relic from the era before hub-and-spoke systems that do nothing but cause confusion. Wouldn't it be simpler for all concerned to just assign a different flight number to each segment?

Or am I missing something?
