Who Here Prefers Non-Stop Flights?

I wonder who designed the user experience at Orbitz?  I cannot imagine the design meeting which resulted with this checkbox on their flight search page:

Orbitz

Does anyone look at that checkbox and decide they don?t want a non-stop flight?  No, I would love for this flight to take as long as humanly possible.

I find it humorous every time I search for flights at Orbitz.   At least have the box checked by default so I don?t have to.  Maybe as a web developer I notice things like this that most would not and I think about it too much but I wanted to share.
