Untrue. UA still retains certain, albeit no non-stop, international services to/from JFK. At the very least (that I am aware of) UA still retains UA 839/840 direct service JFK-MEL (vv) via LAX and SYD. If I am in F on my way to Australia I fully expect to have access to the IFL and as such expect that they will keep the JFK IFL.
I just checked the timetable and UA 890/891 serve NRT direct from JFK (via LAX) too. Point being, UA still has direct international service ex JFK, just not non-stop.
