Probably ex-Miami and several new South American routes with the wingletted 75's Just my two cents.
On the European front, BRU has the greatest chance of seeing any increase due to the SN codeshares to Europe and Africa. Don't hold out hope for additional ZRH as the LX codeshares will all end with the start of the winter schedule - we will be lucky if they even keep both ZRH nonstops. AMS is a low-yield destination and has quite a bit of service already from other US carriers, not to mention its status as a non-OW hub usually makes AA rather hesitant to start any nonstops with its own metal.
