PHL is going to be AA's CLE. Too close to NY and DC, bleeds out slowly.
The 787 is going to CLE?
AA runs flights to 10 European international destinations out of PHL with connectivity to cities the western United States that DC and JFK don’t fly to. AA has a more robust domestic network than United. There’s probably too much lift and pax volume traveling through PHL that DCA and JFK can’t replace if it went away, especially all the RJs bringing pax in from podunk airports all over the east coast/midwest.
