If the CLT flights were planned to return, especially the air/cruise schedule dependent BCN flight, I'd think they'd already be bookable. MAYBE CLT will get a (new) seasonal MAD, but other than LHR, I don't predict much more. I'm afraid the CLT dreams of CLT-TLV, etc. are just that.
Firstly, the merger was about making American great again and putting it back on top- CLT is a great airport to fly TATL due to the low airport costs and number of available connecting flights to other destinations. TATL flying from CLT is safe.
Also CLT already has a flight to Madrid, launched in 2010, which I suspect will become year round at a later point with an A330-200.
