I’d hardly call ORD a win for AA. Sure they added a seasonal ATH, but canceled year round PEK and PVG, seasonal MAN, and downsized year round NRT to just 3x weekly. From ORD AA will have only one solitary long haul international route with year round daily service (LHR).

UA (and to a lesser extent DL) must be rubbing its hands with glee at AA’s long haul demise at ORD.
