Besides, gotta find another way to shrink CLT!!! In addition to the 2 originators and terminators, we do 3 more CLT-PNS turns EACH DAY. That's a lot of pilot-base potential!

Where the big money idea comes from, in my opinion. Overnighting in a MX base, if they weren’t crew bases, all those crews would need to be put into hotels for the night. So when we talk about ORF, DAY, and CVG. We could be potentially talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars saved on hotel costs. Save money, AA is happy.
You might try and argue, why don’t we just have all the MX in the hubs. There just isn’t enough infrastructure to park 4 separate fleet types and parts for those aircraft in those airports.
Just my 2 cents, I don’t have access to data or hard facts on this. Just my speculation and water cooler talks.
