And even PHL's domestic widebody service, at least the volume of it, is as much a function of the number of widebodies that flow through PHL for TATL service—and whose utilization can be maximized through rotations on domestic routes—as it is the ability of AA to maybe fill those planes. If PHL didn't have a lot of widebody TATL service already, AA wouldn't be assigning 332s, 767s, 787s on daily or even multiple daily rotations to ORD, DFW, SFO, LAX, MIA, etc.
