American has had a daily 757 to Tulsa from Dallas for years, but it's there to a large extent to move planes to and from the airbase. They unveiled a 757 with the Race for the Cure ribbon painted down the side here yesterday as a matter of fact.

Swake, Im not surprised that AA flies 757's to Tulsa, since it is their maintenance center. Just like Im not surprised to see Alaska Airline's planes in OKC even though they don't provide pax service to OKC.
But for United to fly 757 to OKC, that's saying something. United already has quite a number of daily flights between Den and OKC, for one of them to be in a 757 that's saying something, since OKC is not a mtc base or focus city for UAL.
Tulsa is a American Airlines corporate city, OKC is not one for United (but it is the largest ops in the state), hence the 757?.
