That and it's not really about glamour. It's about the right a/c for the right job. CLT has a lot of domestic heavy routes and therefore lots of 321s. CLT like other hubs sees widebodies on trunk routes. MIA is a 763 on and off. I would imagine that once MIA gets the 788 there could be a turn to CLT (as well as PHL). CLT is primarily a domestic hub albeit less so than PHX.
