I actually have an Excel spreadsheet where I record all my flight numbers and do see patterns. Part of the fun of flying Southwest is they end up all over the map. I have an upcoming trip this weekend and I have:

750: RDU-BWI
225: BWI-AUS
3009: AUS-BNA
345: BNA-RDU

It's fun seeing maineline aircraft end up in the 3xxx which are usually for regional flights and WN end up in the 2xx which legacy carriers often use for International flights/transcons.
