The CLT-FRA explanations make more sense now - thanks. With the prior AA cuts to FRA, I was surprised to see it remain for both CLT and PHL.

FRA-CLT existed a decade before US joined Star. There is a lot of military traffic on it flying between the Carolinas and the miltary bases in SW Germany. And according to some of the FAs I've talked to on the flights, it carries a lot of cargo. DL flies to FRA from ATL, DTW, and JFK with no alliance feed either.

Also remember that the German economy is one of the brighter spots in Europe at the moment.

Now it will be one stop flights to most Caribbean destinations from SAT. SAT will also get its first AA 737 flights. I am not sure if they had before. It has always been S80s and ERJs for last few years atleast. The timings also work well with Caribbean flights.

I wish the AUS and SAT flights had better times. I tend to leave MIA in the early AM and return after 5PM. Still looking at the DFW connection for me.

Excited to see the new MIA flights added, hopefully they do well enough to stick around. Now if they would just add MCI-LAX!

Some tangential comments, and replies thereto, alluding to Doug Parker and meal times potentially changing to reduce costs have been removed.
We will not allow every thread to be devolved into a "Doug Parker sucks"-fest. Members who can't stay on topic and insist on driving threads into the ditch of CEO-hating are put on warning.
