Jump to postNo doubt AA could make MAN-DFW work especially with the large BA FF catchment around Manchester - but PHL, CLT will come first MAN-PHL would be a great route for the A321NX that AA has on order.

Jump to postDoesn't surprise me about F9 deciding to cancel MCO-MDT. The departure times and frequencies were not the most optimal. I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did.

Jump to postIt's still surprising to me that breeze hasn't opened up IND. It serves basically every other market similar to IND - CMH, CVG, PIT, SDF, and CLE(kinda through CAK), plus served SAT as well.
