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.
Seems to be a chicken and egg type deal though, AA needs to have good reliable service to get the contracts, but doesn't want to start the service without the contracts. :-(
