Correct. They're just closing crew/pilot bases, not necessarily cancelling service to those cities.
Airlines open and close crew bases - that doesn't mean they cancel service to those cities.
American Airlines has closed hubs in San Jose, Reno, St Louis, and Raliegh-Durham over the years. They still have service to those cities.
