In my experience, it's always entirely random... which is why I have a subscription to ExpertFlyer, so I am not checking it daily.
Yep, I have an ExpertFlyer subscription as well, so I'll probably just set up alerts for all of the AA metal flights from the USA to FCO (CLT, DFW, ORD, PHL) on the days we are interested in heading out.
