AA making xONEx's difficult
Current AA hubbing policies making decent maximised xONEx's difficult.

eg. Due to the transcon resrictions on an xONE I would think it would be reasonably common to try and fly (for example)
DFW/ORD - NYC (city) - LAX

However available flights as follows mean there is only a few single pairs of flights that work (examples for Aug-10 schedules from ExpertFlyer), otherwise you have to burn a segment on a city airport transfer.

DFW-NYC
1 to JFK (AA400 1050-1530), 15 to LGA, 6 to EWR
ORD-NYC
1 to JFK (AA1362 1135-1459), 15 to LGA, 8 to EWR
NYC-LAX
10 from JFK, 1 from EWR (AA119 1850-2155 (2class 738)), 0 from

Is AA only using JFK for long haul and LGA/EWR for short ??
