AMR and RAH renegotiated rates back in March I think which led to reduced flying and a couple aircraft going to spares. However I don't know if there were any provisions about them having to remain in STL. I think AMR just agreed to X amount of block hours which could possibly still be maintained out of ORD. All of the news is still new so it might be a while before we learn more about what routes will be flown.
