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.
Parker never showed much interest in NYC when it was USAirways and he's continued that practice now with AA. To be fair the NYC exodus began pre Parker when B6 came to town. AA just doesn't seem to want to slug it out with DL.
