I usually take the evening flight to DFW for midwestern business, but for the coast, the Noon flight was great.

Why is AA not able to make money on these routes? US has operated a club at Bradley for years, surely a sign of profitability of the station.
It's simply rationalizing capacity over the new network. BDL, close to PHL, is probably going to be hit harder than others.
