AA usually slaps a 777 on this route around May, and looks like that for sure ain't happening.
How long will AA wait before pulling the plug on an international flight? Oh, the perils of a small airport . . .
Thanks.
It is highly unlikely that AA will cancel its route. I know (with relative certainty) that this route is one of AA biggest intl money makers. Therefore, i consider it highly unlikely that AA will cancel this route. Plus, currently, AA may stick another 777 on this route. The 763 currently has inadequate capacity, and a lot of the corporate customers that AA services on this route are complaining.
