As usual, this compares what's for sale this week versus last week. It does not compare versus last year.
NEW means it was not previously selling. It may be a seasonal route that wasn't selling yet.
CXLD means it will stop selling, again it may be seasonal but they were selling tickets beyond the season until now.
XFER Transferred between NW and DL
How to read:
MDW-MSP 9>8 NOV- means that 9 roundtrips were selling from November forward, but now it is 8.
AA
SNA-SFO CXLD 2>0 NOV-
SNA-SJC CXLD 5>0 NOV-
AS
PDX-ORD NEW 0>1 NOV-
ANC-DUT 3>2 OCT-
The Dangerous Catch film crew just got a harder commute!

Very interesting Pacific Wings is moving into the ATL-BNA market against Delta. I'd guess these are to get planes to BNA for that new service, but 2x daily seems interesting. PacWings has a great set-up for an ATL-based flyer (no TSA, use a FBO so no dealing with the main terminal), but not so great to fly into Atlanta (have to shuttle to the terminal to get to Marta/rental cars/etc.).

Depending on the day in October. I want to say the film crews would already be in Dutch stringing cameras. That is about a three week evolution by itself. It would probably be cheaper to charter jet from ANC or elsewhere.

From another vantage point ATL was already the busiest airport in the U.S. as it relates to pax stats, even before the NW merger. If I were a LW pilot I wouldn't want to line up on a ATL approach or depart unless I had a dedicated runway.
I think back a few years ago when I saw a 747 in HNL on the heels of Cessna taxiing out I was surprised ATC ground didn't separate them more.
Man can be taken from Alaska. Alaska can never be taken from the man.

Quoting Enilria (Reply 4): 4x MKL-BNA seems like a lot. I think even AA* was only 3x when the hub was in BNA.
Eagle never seved MKL from BNA, but Trans States as AmericanConnection did from 2001-2004.

AmericanConnection (Corporate) served TRI (and ATL), not MKL from BNA.

It was from STL, not BNA. My bad, I forgot to mention the hub, sorry.

Quoting Enilria (Reply 15): I'm fairly sure it was served when the hub was in place. That was 10 years earlier. Are you sure your memory is that good?

Republic flew it until 1982, when they started paring down the turboprop flying, especially in the South. It was served primarily from MEM and BNA, then MEM only.

I guess I was thinking of Skyways rather than AA*. That website confirms Skyways flew it. Anyway, my point was that I think 4/day (now) is the most it has ever been served and I still I'm pretty certain that is the case. Seems like too much to me.

Quoting GentFromAlaska (Reply 7): Is this new service?. I'm not familiar with LW in BNA or anyplace else.
I guess they're going to operate this under the GeorgiaSkies brand? I think they only had a couple of small Cessnas so I assume they're getting more planes.

That's probably true, unless it is Tennessee Skies! How many brands do they have? At least 3, right?
