Probably a better use of the aircraft than having it burn cash on flights to GRU. And if AA is granted a second HND flight, what happens to AA's NRT operation? If they receive DFW-HND, would AA keep ORD-NRT or just hand it over to JAL and end NRT operations altogether? AA seems to be content at the moment allowing JAL handle JFK-NRT twice a day.
AA has two daily DFW NRT, so one additional slot is not enough to end the NRT operations from DFW. Would it make sense to split the two, or more sense to let ORD go to HND?
