When it is flown, it is normally a 321.
The choice not to fly it right now has more to do with it taking a lot of aircraft and crew time at a time where the aircraft are needed elsewhere.

AA1517, PHX-RDU is currently operating, departed PHX today at 1054 am, operated with a 738.

What does RDU-KEF have to do with RDU-PHX? I can single-handedly assure you that RDU-KEF is not "high-yielding", especially as FI is essentially a LCC targeting budget-minded travelers in the TATL market.remymartin11 wrote:PHX is only AA hub without year round N/S to/from RDU.

No offense, but it's amusing to me that you are a CK (which you stated in your original post) yet you seem to have no idea how basic airline economics work.

That’s a fake schedule.

bummer, then i guess the London nonstop isn't happening in the spring and summer, either, eh?

DL is weak in RDU? I'd love to know the logic there since last I saw, Delta was still the number one carrier at RDU (albeit much smaller than before COVID).

I can single-handidly assure you that RDU-KEF is incredibly high yielding. In fact, it's one of the most successful new route launches the carrier has had in recent history. Don't believe me? Look at how not-cheap the fares are for next summer for that flight, and how often they've extended the seasonality for it.
Source: I was heavily involved in the launch of this route and have recently discussed its performance with the airline.

I'm 99% sure the OP isn't a CK.
