How do you know when to stay-on to leave to aircraft at any airport? Like you fly from PHX to DFW, and that jet leaves for MSY, would you continue on that flight/aircraft or get off in DFW and head to another flight to MCI let's say? And is a stop at a hub airport longer than a turnaround/stop in LAS let's say?

Usually when we send an "In Range" report, it'll show us what our inbound gate assignment, and then which gate the pilots and flight attendants depart out of.
I'll send an 'in range' report via ACARS (more or less like a touchscreen instant message device) to flight control and it'll return something like this:
"Arrival Gate: C3
Flight Crew
A DUNCAN, L 1948 ONT D5 1840
B TAYLOR, D 1948 ONT D5 1840"
A = Captain, B = First Officer 1948 is the flight number, ONT = Ontario, D5 is the next gate, 1840 is the departure time.
And then it'll send the passenger flight connection information to the cockpit printer and I'll slide it under the door for the girls to read.
