I wouldn't mind SNA-SFO being brought back.

I know the feeling - every time there has been a thread like this before, I have listed two wishes: MIA-RTB and LAX-GRU. And now we're going to have both! I don't want to get greedy, so I'll just say that I'm happy now.

Pie-in-the-sky I'm sure, but DFW-HKG would be amazing for all of the parts of Asia that are a short CX flight from HKG, but a long overnight JAL flight from NRT.
Any-PVD, I suppose ORD would be the most likely. But in any case, BDL and BOS are long long drives down.
Probably also pie-in-the-sky as rumors say AA loses money on PEK and PVG... but since OneWorld can't seem to get a Chinese carrier, I'd love to see AA do directs to some secondary Chinese cities.
MIA-JNB. It would be lovely to get to Africa on awards without BA's YQ. Of course awards aren't a good reason to start a route.

My general theme is to expand domestic service in/out of BOS, saving us from JetBlue and Cape Air:
1) Turn BOS into a regional hub to northeastern midsized cities (Portland, Burlington, Albany, Ithaca, Syracuse, Buffalo, etc.), via American Eagle if that helps.
2) Lots of places east of ORD/DFW that should have nonstop service to/from BOS, like Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, Indianapolis, Baltimore, Raleigh-Durham, Charleston, Ft. Lauderdale, Austin, etc., etc.
3) ACK and MVY in summer

AUS-MIA - It's the only AA hub missing a flight to AUS, and it hurts when you have to fly to the Caribbean or Central America.
USA-DXB - UA and DL both fly nonstop to DXB, and like another poster in this thread, I would cry tears of joy if AA started DXB. Sick and tired of BA and LHR.

MIA-BRU is my top.
Anything else from BRU will be warmly welcomed as well.
As long as americanairlines.be is not dead we are allowed to hope. :-)

JFK-DEN
JFK-PHX
LGA-JAX
JFK-SMF
JFK-FOR (Fortaleza, Brazil)
Will get PHX via merger, hopefully Denver for feed, JAX perhaps thru merger, unlikely for Sacramento and Fortaleza thru MIA is more efficient and thus unlikely. More direct flights from JFK to AUS and IAH to compliment once a day feeder for TATLs.

JFK/FLL year round (LGA/FLL ain't gonna happen) and return MIA/ATL to mainline or at least a CR7.

JFK-STT-STX-JFK
there used to be a turnaround that stopped at both STT and STX and it was so great. STX is our airport of choice, but this made it so convenient.
