Some of the key links in the network:

1. Pacific Northwest: Vancouver, BC, Canada - Seattle - Portland
2. California: Sacramento - San Francisco- Los Angeles - San Diego
3. Chicago Hub: St. Louis - Chicago - Detroit
4. Northeast: Montreal, Canada - Boston - New York - Philadelphia - Baltimore - Washington DC - Raleigh
5. Gulf Coast Florida: Houston - New Orleans - Jacksonville - Orlando - Miami
