The Hub and Spoke system relies somewhat on the fact that a pretty

Go check out the statistics for ATL. The last time I saw them
published, something like 85% of the passengers landing at ATL were there
just to catch a connecting flight. Many years ago it was said that when
someone in the Southeast passed away, the only way to get to heaven or hell
was to connect at ATL.
