1) Feb 2006 is a little far out to confirm services such as FLL, PBI are being discontinued. However, AA made is clear in the past that it's focus will be on growing and building their MIA hub while reducing flights into those S. FL cities where low cost competition is rampant.
2) Look for AA to start reducing more of it's BOS frequencies as JFK starts reving up operations with opening of new terminal.
3) In additon, the 738s are based out of MIA and MIA IS EXPANDING. Those 738s will likely be used on new MIA routes this winter.
4) It's about MAKING MONEY at this point. Why use planes on a flight to protect your market share of population that is willing to pay $99 one-way on a transcon route? It's a balance for AA, they will adjust premium capacity as they see fit, and yield some of the low fares to others.
5) If you wanna see AA fight, get ready for "Shock and Awe" if/when B6 decides to go into MIA ..... you ain't seen nothing yet
