First off it, it's great in most ways. Thanks!

One specific problem, though: I can't seem to find a way to display American Eagle and American Connection flights (the regional jet arms of AA). I'm don't think they have separate airline code, they're just 3xxx (and maybe also 4xxx?) flight numbers on AA. From LAX, there are a number of Eagle-only AA destinations, such as FAT (Frencso CA) that you don't show. (You show FAT but not with a direct flight to LAX, on AA or otherwise.)

Are you cutting off flight numbers above a certain threshold (to weed out codeshares), and could that number be too low (blocking out regional subsidiaries too)?

Btw, UA also flies nonstop LAX-FAT using a regional subsidiary (in that case again using regular UA flight numbers but this time in the 5xxx range), but again you don't show that.

It's obvious you can't use one flight number cutoff for all airlines, as UA is using 5xxx for its own RJ flights, but AS uses 4xxx for codeshares!
