GinnyAnswer
To determine which joint frequency has the most flights, we need to compare the number of flights for each airline in each direction. Listed below are the four joint frequencies:

- Skyways, going east: 30 flights
- Skyways, going west: 33 flights
- Yellow Jet, going east: 35 flights
- Yellow Jet, going west: 34 flights

From these numbers, we can see that:

1. Skyways has 30 flights going east.
2. Skyways has 33 flights going west.
3. Yellow Jet has 35 flights going east.
4. Yellow Jet has 34 flights going west.

To find out which joint frequency has the most flights, we compare the values:

- 30 flights (Skyways, going east)
- 33 flights (Skyways, going west)
- 35 flights (Yellow Jet, going east)
- 34 flights (Yellow Jet, going west)

After comparing these numbers, it is clear that the greatest number of flights corresponds to the Yellow Jet flights going east:

- Yellow Jet, going east: 35 flights

Therefore, the joint frequency with the most flights is Yellow Jet, going east.
