As for JFK, killing the ZRH route is not a great example of attempting to focus on business markets.

Seems very hard to work out any sort of strategy here. Clearly they want to focus trans-Atlantic flying through Philly, but route selection remains a mystery and I have no idea how they think they're going to maintain any sort of foothold on the NYC market by hacking away at the route network. Maybe they should just sell the JFK slots to United--I hear that they figured out leaving was a bad idea despite the strong presence at EWR.
