AA route changes announced 21 Aug 2018, inc cutting ORD-PVG

Plenty of other threads on this subject over the last year - too lazy to look them up - but AA mainline out of ORD to international destinations is getting a bit sparse as of late except for LHR...Mr. Parker appears to not like competition and prefers gouging the fine citizens of DFW, CLT and PHL...but we are getting ORD-ATH in the summer!

Are they going away - no. Are they ceding ground internationally for CHI O/D. My answer - yes.
