Hello all,
Does anyone know what the Delta schedule looks like in DFW? Are these flights exact matches to Delta's, and do you think its a block maneuver for backfill by the LCC's?

American and American Eagle Announce They Will Add a Total of 70 Departures at DFW By Summer 2005
Friday September 3, 1:54 pm ET Expansion Will Include 35 Flights With Mainline AA Jets
FORT WORTH, Texas, Sept. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- On the strength of a growing North Texas economy and the continued success of its Dallas/Fort Worth hub, American Airlines today announced that it and its regional affiliate, American Eagle, will add a total of 70 departures at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport by the summer of 2005.
American said 35 of the new flights will be operated with mainline American Airlines jets. American Eagle regional jets will be used for the remainder of the DFW schedule expansion. Overall, the new flights will increase the American and American Eagle presence at DFW by almost 10 percent, one of the largest expansions by the carriers at DFW in many years. The increase also will bring American's total jet departures at DFW to 540, the largest in American's history at the airport.

"We have taken a number of steps to strengthen our DFW hub over the past few years, and this expansion is another important initiative as we continue to transform our company. The new services will further expand our network at DFW and increase the availability of our competitive fares."
Under the DFW expansion, American will increase the frequency of its service to a number of major cities, and in some cases substitute larger mainline jet aircraft for American Eagle regional jet flights.
