And this leads to your thread title?
Kind of a stretch if you ask me.
That being said, AA has to focus on LAX. DL has SEA. UA has SFO. AA needs a strong and growing presence at LAX for what, I hope, will be the expansion of their Asia routes.
DFW - HKG and Shanghai is interesting, but growing out the network from LAX seems like a better long term plan to me.
