If VX had a bad product, there might be some agreement, but they have a great product. Aside from the frequency situation, you need VX to keep a decent competitive product on the AA side. I think we all needed UA to make meal improvements recently to even get AA to restore a few more things they took away earlier as well.
Essentially, one has to either bend to AA's schedule or pick another carrier. If AA sees enough holes in its time schedule where demand is elsewhere, it might adjust a flight here or there.
What's funny is there is plenty (more?) competition at LAX for the JFK business and AA still pumps those flights out. So, I don't see that it has to do as much with the competition and maybe more about the market itself and its demand. You need more AA loyal flyers maybe in SFO?
