AA hasn't been doing very well with NYC corporate contracts.....in fact I think it was Credit Suisse (or some other bank) that dumped AA in favor for Delta which is why AA dropped JFK-ZRH and moved it to PHL as one example. AA shot themselves in the foot with that route using an unreliable 763 with a terrible in-flight product compared with Delta's 763 with in-seat IFE good dispatch reliability etc and now I think DL is even running A332's on the route.
