If anyone thinks different, they do not know how AA operates.
My 2 cents
Just like how B6 is cutting AA off at the knees in Miami/South Florida right now? The NEA is a contractual agreement AA desperately needs. Without it they have NO strategy to compete in New York, have said so themselves.
If the merger is successful, B6 will play in these big hub markets of DFW, ORD, DTW, ATL just like southwest and spirit currently do. I could see LAS shrinking from poor yields and ACY closing as there is a base up the street at EWR.
