17 - Add in parameters (variables)

📖 Task Introduction

In the previous exercises, you generated two paths. The first led us to create a route column and the second path took us down a process where we were able to generate two insightful visualizations around ranked route delays. But what if our team is located in different regions of the United States and wants to observe the delay impacts of particular origin and destination airports? For this exercise, we will add parameters (variables) and incorporate them into the analysis.
