Kalia960's comment that AA really viewed ORD and DFW as hubs as opposed to JFK makes perfect sense and is how discussion on the board should be conducted.
While I like AA service, I dislike its timetables.
With respect, if you didn't know that DFW and ORD are AA's main hubs, you really can't have been reading very much of their timetables or have found out very much about the airline.
Your complaint seems to be that they don't have a great deal of service where you want to be - which happens to be in a part of the country in which they don't have a great deal of service. If it doesn't work for you, fair enough. But you can't reasonably trash the rest of the airline just because it doesn't work for your travel needs in a limited part of the US.
