AA should play to it's strengths in dfw, dca, phl, Mia and phx and dump the places is struggles.
Would also solve the issues of a/c deliveries. aa is not like delta or United, AA is more like the old USAir. A full service Lcc.
JetBlue is doing the same thing and it's working.
You have to have at least a decent presence in those markets. They're too important to simply give up.
JetBlue literally just started their plan and they just took out almost three billion in loans at ridiculously high rates. The jury is going to be out for a long time as to whether they are righting the ship.
