They used to offer quite a few same plane thru' flights, but I haven't spent the time on this winter schedule - I don't know if it it is carved in stone yet. I'm mildly surprised they haven't added a MEM-Florida (RSW?), but they have to be really tight on aircraft by now.
Perhaps it can consider a TTN-MEM-DFW/IAH or TTN-RDU-DFW/IAH style same plane. Atleast this way it'd offer the major Texas cities or atleast Dallas (if not IAH) to the TTN base of customers, as ILG flights likely won't happen.
On nonstops even without same plane in consideration: RDU-DFW also seems like borderline high fare monopoly route on AA so maybe Frontier will consider that route. e.g. $250 one-way advance purchase fares on AA next month, $505 r/t with departure Tuesday and return Thursday of same week. I don't think Southwest announced RDU-DAL although it was proposed if it got the 2 extra gates that Virgin ended up getting. AA hasn't challenged Spirit or Frontier on the once-twice a day flights. Only US but the DFW routes that are flown exclusively by AA wouldn't apply to US.
