The even more puzzling part is not filling any CLT 320 CA slots, the rsv CA i fly with say they fly all the time and OG is readily available. There was 17 CLT/320/CA that bid elsewhere by my count.
Cheaper to pay OG and staff it that away? Just a guess. However more logical part says CLT is like PHX. In AA world it was too large for one plane. They’re trimming it down and will transition crews. If you look at actual 737 departures it’s not that many as it seems. AA keeps saying no to PHX 737 which of all them seems it would make the most sense?
