That plane is always full. Austin is one of the fastest growing cities for jobs. Why would they divest? I'm sure AA has some advanced models for revenue maximization, but I'd love to see that math because I thought full planes was a good thing. In the meantime, Jet Blue, please get some evening flights from SFO to Austin. Opportunity to grab some market share. I love my AA miles, but not as much as I like direct flights! I don’t get it.
