Notice the backtracking from Memphis. Fly the package to Memphis, then
offload it and fly it back to Dulles? This is efficiency, eh?

That's just the way "hub" operations work. If you flew Delta from
Providence to New York you would probably change planes in Atlanta.
Everything that ships FedEx air goes to Memphis. The US Postal System
works the same way. If you mail a letter across town it goes to the
regional sorting center first and that might be several hundred miles
away.

Not exactly. For instance, if there are multiple zip codes in a town,
the mail stays in the town and is sorted at the main post office for
that geographic zip code.

However if I'm mailing something to the next town over, it does.
