Airline flight plans

Remember kids, those are official journalists on TV that didn't bother to
make one of the on-screen graphic depictions correct for the story they were
telling. Twice the script mentions the flight is from Tulsa to DFW and yet
the large initial graphic shows a trip from DFW to Tulsa. Had an airplane
crashed because some professional pointed his arrow in the wrong direction
the blow-dry crowd would have wondered what sort of institutional oversight
or endemic evil caused this basic error to have happened and how could the
FAA Administrator and George Bush have not known in advance.

Drain the swamp. Deport Islam. Until Muslims observe and protect
human/religious rights of others they should not be allowed to remain in the
West. Islam, as practiced, is incompatible with Western freedom.

I took an AA flight from SAN to ORD Tuesday that looped up through
Utah and Wyoming, maybe to catch strong upper winds. But I got to
wondering how airline flight plans get planned. Does the pilot do
this, or the airline?

I presume that ATC overrides theirs as they do mine from time to time,
though the airlines probably have a better idea of what's likely to be
approved.

If you want to see the route, you can find it on Flightaware, AA1484,
