Well. It looks like AA took our "happy medium". I was gunning for 16, while you held onto 18. So they settled on 17 instead!
And the fact that there are apparently 20 or so unused slot pairs between the two carriers, in addition to the 13X daily PHL flights amongst others that can take a haircut, the new airline can add a lot of nonstop destinations from LGA.
