Thanks for sharing the article.
If AA could replace some of its short flights from CLT with busses, that could be an improvement.
For example, driving from GSP or CAE to CLT can take about 90 minutes. If AA could have the bus stop maybe downtown or another place in those cities, do a security check, and then head to CLT and arrive airside, that would be significantly faster than the time it takes to go to GSP or CAE and then fly to CLT. But I guess it’s not realistic to do a TSA security check outside of an airport.
