They’ve hinted that we’d likely launch new routes/frequencies, especially when it comes to LGA (and some JFK and I think EWR, but LGA sounded like the big winner). But route structure wouldn’t really change as it relates to AA hubs imo, it would just be us adding more flights in the NYC/BOS region enabling a mutually increased customer base that wouldn’t otherwise work all that well if the partnership didn’t exist. At least that’s my take. Both airlines win with sharing FF/customer base + increasing bookable options in each’s ecosystem.
