Would prefer to see a weekend route to one of the Caribbean islands. It blows my mind that neither AA nor DL run a weekend flight on RDU - BDA, it could be easily handled by a CR9 and would think to have a decent amount of traffic at certain times of the year.

That said I think they've done a good job covering most of the reasonable adds ex-RDU. All the hubs are covered, ORD (shockingly) is covered, the other big gaps (DFW / DEN / IAH / PHX / SFO) are all covered by competitors ex-RDU that have hubs in those places so wouldn't make much sense.




I could see NAS as it's such a short flight, and likely wouldn't need ETOPS depending on the routing, but I wouldn't count anything to the Caribbean as likely. The CUN idea as at least a weekend Seasonal flight could happen though.
