9/28 - DFW to CLE - 100% full. There were a few empty seats on the chart when I checked in, but there were 13 people on the standby list. Two standby's didn't make it.

Seems as though we're getting closer to being back to upgrade territory pre COVID. I checked at the T-100 window for my MIA/ORD flight on Tuesday afternoon. One F seat open. Luckily I changed to MIA/CLT/ORD (with the 772 to CLT) which showed F wide open. $35 refare. Upgrades cleared 10 minutes after I rebooked. Essentially $35 to ensure an upgrade albeit with a connection now, but into ORD earlier. Coming back Thursday afternoon not looking good but no alternative flights.

Just did MIA DFW again. 5 seats were open at check in with only 1 person on the upgrade list and like 25 standbys so by the time we left F was 100% full

Isn't there an airport easily visible on short final to DFW that's packed with blue, red and yellow 737s heading nonstop to a bunch of AA DFW destinations every day? And at no more than a 67% load factor to boot?

But there's no question that DFW is a fortress hub in terms of gates. AA has all of B, all of A, all of C, a bunch of gates in D, and about half the gates in E. The satellite terminal in E (formerly Terminal 4E) that Delta built was closed when Delta de-hubbed DFW, but is now all AA.

Over the past couple of years, WN has brought down DAL capacity in former Wright markets and shifted it to those "a lot more destinations" which you correctly point out. Heck, WN's Wright reductions meant that pre-COVID I actually found AA to have (gasp) more convenient schedules to Wrighty places like MAF and OKC than WN out of DAL.
