Jets carry enough fuel to divert to an alternative, plus reserves.
Sometimes they even carry more, as to make a quicker layover, or to save on
fuel costs. How much more do you want them to carry, for cripes sakes?

Some even ferry fuel, where they pump some out at the destination.
I've had unconfirmed reports that AA ferried fuel from DFW to SJO, a
route I used to fly regularily.

Since DFW is AA's home base, it's possible that they have cheap fuel
there. If they do, many of their DFW bound flights might be planned
to not carry much extra, and not purchase fuel elsewhere.
