Fortunately (?), PHL already has a BCN flight. But co-sign all of the posts above on how sad JFK T8 can be at certain (or all?) times of day/days of week.

AA has said some of the recent reductions, especially the Eagle ones, are related to the closure of 13L/31R this summer (other airlines have been asked to similarly reduce their schedules), and that they'll resume flying their "full schedule" in the fall once the runway is reopened.
