New AA Flights out of FLL
Not exactly the route expansion I was hoping for...

"On Nov. 17, American will add new nonstop service to Los Angeles as well as one additional flight to Chicago. On Feb. 9, American will add another flight to Chicago as well as an additional nonstop to Dallas/Fort Worth. American will operate Boeing 737-800 aircraft on all of these routes."
The direct flight FLL-LAX is a new route.

Yay for FLL and South Florida! Hopefully AA will pursue the multi station cornerstone approach at FLL and PBI similar to LGA & JFK. Maybe JFK-PBI isn't out of the question, it would really be a resumption from the former LGA service.

fll is an end point basically....very few connections w/aa....obviously, the increase makes sense to aa & mia is a zoo....when the fll-lax was operating, there was often some decent mr fares...

The fare is ridiculous like $.12 per mile, but when I search for BOS-FLL flights one of my options was the following:
2189 06:40 AM BOS 10:10 AM MIA
395 11:15 AM MIA 01:25 PM DFW
1408 02:15 PM DFW 06:00 PM FLL
I think this happens a lot with "multi station" hubs and demonstrates a less than ideal AA IT setup. The following set of flights is only $81 more than LAX-SYD:
440 10:55 AM ONT 03:40 PM DFW
2459 04:50 PM DFW 06:15 PM LAX
7364 10:20 PM LAX 08:20 AM SYD
2189 06:40 AM BOS 10:10 AM MIA
395 11:15 AM MIA 01:25 PM DFW
1408 02:15 PM DFW 06:00 PM FLL

How long after the announcement do new flights usually become bookable? Fingers crossed for some cheap FLL-LAX-FLL runs (although it will be misery compared to the 777s and 767s out of MIA).

I believe that DL recently moved their FLL/LAX NS to MIA. Maybe this is an attempt by AA to capture some PAX that don't want to go to MIA

It's not a direct flight, it's a nonstop flight; there's a world of difference between "direct" and "nonstop" flights.
On top of that, it's not a new route, it's the resumption of service on a route served by AA for many years until two or three years ago, when it was discontinued.
