AA Dispatchers might decide to tanker in fuel from out stations to mitigate issues with scarcity in CLT. This ends up costing more but ensures that there is adequate fuel for flight dispatching.
I’m on the DL ATL-HNL non-stop flight right now and thankfully we aren’t making any fuel stops. We did leave the gate 20 mins late even with boarding beginning on-time so not sure if the fuel issues had anything to do with this or not.
