Delta Air Lines continues to expand service at Raleigh-Durham International Airport with daily nonstop flights to Albany, N.Y., and Providence, R.I., on April 11.

The carrier also plans to resume service to Los Angeles on May 5, providing daily nonstop flights to a key West Coast destination. Delta stopped the RDU-LA service in November, and officials said that restarting it would depend on the economy and other trends. More than 250,000 passengers a year travel between RDU and Los Angeles.

RDU officials are eager to see airlines add more nonstop service, especially to the West Coast. Economic developers say that's an important tool when they recruit new business to this region.

A recent consultant's report for RDU showed that Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego were among the key markets not served by nonstop flights. Passengers can reach almost anywhere from RDU, but some cities require making connections, which can add hassle and time.

Delta Air Lines' on-again, off-again service between the Triangle and Los Angeles is off, again.

The carrier, which resumed once-daily nonstop flights between Raleigh-Durham International Airport and LA in June, will stop it as of Nov. 28.

"With virtually every route, we monitor passenger demand for it," said Delta spokesman Paul R. Skrbec. "It's a reflection of the demand for the route. Our expecation is that come springtime, the demand will come back."

But it's uncertain whether Delta will restart the service, or when.

Economic developers and RDU officials have said that direct flights to the West Coast are important in attracting new businesses to this region. More than 250,000 passengers a year travel between RDU and Los Angeles.

This week, I'll be talking to two cats straight from the City of Angels. For today's edition, I talk with Glendale resident Dennis Cozzalio, keeper of the Sergio Leone and the Infield Fly Rule blog. During this podcast, he learns the quickest way to my heart: start talking about movies from the '70s.

What was initially supposed to be a podcast about the cinematic storytelling of Steely Dan (I figured it would be appropriate since they'll be performing tomorrow and Cozzalio wrote a recent blog post about them) turned into Dennis and I rapping about the underrated film work of Don Siegel and Peter Yates, gushing about the genius of "Freebie and the Bean" and basically saying that the '70s was the grest movie decade EVER!!

Eventually, we do talk about Steely Dan, and we also have some final thoughts on the passing of David Carradine. I had too much fun doing this podcast. Hope you have as much fun listening to it.

Coming Friday: straight talk about the summer movie season from an L.A. insider, who talks me down off the ledge when we discuss a remake that shouldn't have happened. You can also download it here.
