Remember the hype when the 787 came out. New routes, point to point etc. Didn't happen. Doubt it'll happen with the XLR.
Agree 100%. With very few exceptions AA mgt is extremely risk averse. Our international route map is pretty weak when you take out our codeshare flying. Cheaper to just give that flying to QANTAS, Japan Airlines, BA, and LATAM.
