As phlwookie already mentioned, this is not true. The original LUS fleet of A321-211s are registered N161UW-N192UW. They regularly do transcons, just as the newer enhanced A321-211 and A321-231 aircraft commonly do short hops.

Not too long ago I flew on N568UW and N916US (newest -231 builds) between CLT and RDU- one of the shortest mainline routes in the system. I also flew N161UW from CLT-LAX, and N188US CLT-SFO (original -211 builds). A simple search of any LUS aircraft on flightaware will show they all move throughout the system.
