Wow, AA is adding ORD-ABE. ORD-ABE has been UA's way back from the '70s and '80s. I have flown UA ABE-ORD on a 727-100 back in the '80s! I wonder if AA sees demand at Lehigh Valley area. Even back in the '80s, it was common for Lehigh Valley residents to drive to PHL to catch flights.

CLE-LAX is also interesting. It has been so long since UA left the CLE hub, and finally looking into CLE. Before the AA/US merger, AA had a very minimal presence at CLE. I think the AA/US merger more than doubled flights out of CLE for AA.
