AA preps to cut service to smaller cities
I think this news is designed to encourage more legislators to get on board with extended aid to the airlines. Many smaller cities could lose airline service October 1st.

I think JB is replacing AA with 190 service to overlapping smaller cities in the NE.

I think there was a provision in CARES 1.0 (or some related DOT regulatory rule) that precluded any cessation of regular scheduled service if a carrier took the money. I assume that sunsets in Oct in the same way that the furlough restrictions do.
