Can someone explain AA's MD80 strategy? I am on one going between DFW and CVG (not that I am complaining, I booked it on purpose), but why does AA fly the MD80 on stage lengths like this?

The MD80 still works on relatively short stages such as DFW-IAH,AUS,SAT etc. Why not use them until EOL here?

About to get on another MD80. Back to back trips. #winning
