If yes, it would suggest AA will restore at least some of the service at the end of 2019.
The runway reconstruction has conveniently allowed AA to drop JFK flights during the summer without fear of losing those slots; interesting to note that both B6 and DL have not reduced any JFK flights for the summer despite the runway issue. And the capacity AA is restoring in November post-runway-reconstruction period are either hub flights (PHX, MIA, ORD, etc.) or short cheaper-to-operate flights (PHL, PIT, BOS) - the latter basically being slot-squatter flights until AA can figure out what to do with those JFK slots...
