Any reason why the MD-80 or 737-800 wouldn't work on this route? I'm sure AA can't be interested in another aircraft type. </font>
The long skinny MDs take a long time to load and unload. I'm sure that's why DL has never put 757s on the Shuttle line for peak hours -- same issue. The system is all about fast turn times.
