AA305 (6pm BOS-LAX) stopped in ORD (presumably fuel) and others have flying times of 7+ hours!
EF confirms it was a fuel stop. There have been lots of fuel stops on westbound transcons this week for airlines that operate the 320 on those routes (B6, VX, etc). I think this is the first I am hearing of a 738 stopping (though it may have happened other times)
