I was hoping to find that again.
As other have indicated, it'll be impossible to find that again with any confidence. Even on direct flights with the same flight number and equipment type there is frequently a change of aircraft. And, just because MCO-CLT-PHX might use the same aircraft today on two particular flight numbers doesn't mean the exact same flights tomorrow will use the same aircraft.
Does anyone even know if it's still possible to stay onboard the aircraft on a direct flight? I haven't done that on AA for years.
