I just think it's an absurd route. Don't take it personally.

It’s really not absurd. Especially on a 50 seater and not daily.
Don’t forget Belk, PNC, and BioCryst all have headquarters or regional offices in both locations.

I don’t believe AA ever operated RDU-BHM

Are you serious? Please explain and show your work.

yeah the "show your work" bit is a little, um... cranky/passive aggressive? definitely antagonistic and unnecessary. Happy freaking 2019 though.
I was going to point out only that the fact they route was no longer in existence till via air took it up might indicate it wasn't sustainable. But these airlines like Frontier picking random city pairs, especially involving RDU, seem to be working in general. Especially so *if* Delta has hit the pause button.
As far as Memphis goes, I really see that WAY WAY down the list (or not even ON the list) of needing nonstops from RDU. I frankly think MEM can have everyone on all airlines connect thru hub-only flights as MEM is a shell of it's former self, but this is an RDU topic, not one for MEM.

Possibly an AA/BA switch on the LHR flight

Daily MSY from WN

SAN seems to have a better transcon market then PDX does.

* DL's domestic growth at RDU will continue to be sluggish as it awaits more deliveries of A220s.
* WN will add two new daily markets, one of which will be MSY.
* G4 will add FLL.

What year? Departedflights doesn't even show it.

I will say that for the first 2 quarters of 2018, the DOT (Table 6) shows PDX-RDU at 85PDEW and SAN-RDU is at 144 PDEW; SAN has (minimal) service while PDX has none.
This is of course not the only factor taken into account when cx select new routes but it does show important data.
