But now something weird is happening -- we're getting regular AA flights, on A-320s and A-319s. We still have the E-jets and similar, but I'm really surprised to see AA metal. Is that something that comes and goes from markets often, or has something fundamentally changed in LIT?

We also have more flights. Outbound: 4 a day to ORD, 4 to CLT, 8 to DFW, and 1 to DCA.

This is all great for me. They're filling these planes up with non-business travelers. There aren't more elites but there are more flights, so as an EXP I've only had one flight in the last several months where I didn't get upgraded. I know that won't last forever, but my flight choices have definitely never been better here. And I hope that part is here to stay.
