I noticed that AA added a 9:15PM DCA-ORD flight. Can’t imagine there’s much connecting traffic with a wheels down time of 10:30PM…
If AA’s goal is drive up departures for gate reallocation purposes, you’d think they could at least do it in a profitable manner. Then again, adding more daytime departures that don’t line up with the schedule banking at other hubs probably doesn’t work well either.
