OAK would be a great place to expand and capture the East Bay market - setting aside the growth of Oakland itself, the East Bay has many well-to-do bedroom communities for whom flying out of OAK would be substantially more favorable than schelpping across a bridge to SFO...and of course DFW offers far more connections than does PHX. If that mindset prevails, LAX would also be a useful and reasonable add.
I do hope that AA looks to expansion in the coming years rather than rationalization. Otherwise what'll happen is that OAK could lose PHX
