AA uses Eagle for LAX-XNA.
Delta has no West Coast service to XNA. It's either up north to MSP first or backtrack to ATL. Almost all regionals for them, save for one MD80 on the short ATL-XNA.
Low volume, but high dollar - regionals are the birds for the mission. You don't ever miss a meeting with Walmart. It's not a pleasant biz trip while you're there, truly no frills, though the ride home can be fun if you just scored distribution.
