That is indeed what I meant. AA discontinued its morning eastbound flight from JFK, and the two BA flights depart too early to make a connection from RDU. The same thing happened at BOS several years ago. BA times its flights so that passengers can make onward connections at LHR, whereas AA had been content with late evening arrivals.
The connection at ORD for LHR comes and goes, based on the timing of the first RDU-ORD flight of the day. Unfortunately AA's schedule RDU-ORD has fallen to only 2X. WN has largely chased AA out of the RDU-Chicago market.
