Do OKC people really not travel or is the existing scheduled flights really good enough to handle that crush load?
There is enough slack in the system during the holidays to handle leisure traffic. There's virtually zero business demand during the Christmas/New Years holiday weeks. these empty seats normally occupied by business travelers are being filled by leisure traffic. This add by AA allows them to capture the most willing to pay that much. If they added more they would have to charge less, most likely.
