It is easily the most god-foresaken city on this planet. Unless you have to go there for business or are into greenpeace and want to save a tree, really, tell me why you want to go there...
although they have a nice Opera House...
I think AA can pick more profitable routes...

1) Lot's of a business/trade traffic.
2) Lot's of ecotourism traffic, that is typically better yielding than your normal "let's go to Hawai'i" crowd.
3) Huge cargo revenue.
4) Important gateway to Northeast Brazil.
LAB's been making a killing on Miami-Manaus for years. AA would love to join in.

And I think a lot of people would rather fly AA than LAB.
