Vasu is the one starting all these new routes to places like PRG TXL TLV BUD... he’s taking chances on some of them but most of them are paying off. He’s going after Delta in BOS and not rolling over like AA has done in the past.

AA is not giving away the farm to alliance partners. RDU-LHR could’ve gone to BA a long time ago. So could the PHX-LHR, and BOS-LHR, wide body routes without an AA widebody base. AA handed ORD-Tokyo to JAL, that’s been a money pit for years and AA still profits on the metal-neutral JV with JAL. And if AA needs to drop a money losing Tokyo route to a partner to add flights to new destinations, I’m all about it.

Vasu for CEO.
