AA is adding 4 nonstops/day to DAL, and WN is adding 4. None of the current AA nonstops to DFW is being taken out of the schedule.

The new schedule has STL-DFW flights leaving at:

I checked a half dozen flights on Feb. 28, and they seemed to range from half empty to 80% empty. I don't know what percentage of seats either airline normally has filled 3 weeks out on this type of route, or how many seats WN has sold for March, but I still think somebody is going to be flying a lot of nearly empty planes. It may be too far in the future for them to be taking drastic steps, but I intend to keep my eyes open.

I'm sure this is a long shot, but if anyone is willing to give up one of their codes for good karma, I could sure use one.
