Looking forward to seeing Republic open a DFW base lol
The first thing AA decides is what gauge is needed for which route. If scope limits this, then they look where they can make the most money. And for now it seems like that's in NYC over MIA. So more 76 seaters on the east coast which is why the Envoy NYC base seems to have flatlined for a while now and Republic is growing in Boston and NY.
