AA has had to compete much more in JFK, LAX, and ORD. As Vasu Raja and his team continue to look at the JFK routes, I think we'll be left with only the profitable ones.

So AA has to compete. They already put out a better product than DL and have caught up to UA. I don't know why these companies are scared of competition. How are they expecting to grow if they don't compete?
