First, there are no 747s at AA. Secondly, it is considered a domestic upgrade at AA, even on the intl configured 767s that fly DFW-Hawaii. And given the fact that AA flies to HNL,OGG, LIH, and KOA from LAX, with more daily flights than what US flies to Hawaii out of PHX, my guess is that PHX will see the fight reductions or removals, not LAX.
