Seriously. Anyone who tells you that they have an even remote clue is trying to outsmart RM/IM software for which AA paid $ hundreds of thousands. The flight that you book late on a Thursday xPHL because it as capacity now, may turn out to have 75 misconnecting passengers due to a delayed inbound from LHR.
