You can't deny that AA has a third advantage - ground service, in that AA is offering the 5-Star Concierge to all LAXSYD F passengers.
I agree. People often make CX F food to be a special occasion dining experience and it is not. Even SQ F food is so so.
If you want a real Asian lobster dish, go to a real Asian restaurant. It's better than anything CX or SQ can dream of. It's sad that people who eat terrible overcooked seafood suddenly hold their nose at AA food.

For DFW-SUX, MVY & BZN, will they all just be summer seasonal?

I'm a little surprised it's DFW getting them as it makes a good portion of the country need to fly "out of the way" to then connect to these places. I would think, if only one city got SUX, it would be ORD. It could see both ORD & PHX making sense for BZN. And I would think PHL would make the most sense for MVY (although, since they already fly from DCA, I can understand having a non-east coast airport taking a 2nd flight).

Well, there's plenty of money in Dallas so I guess it's not that surprising. I am curious what the equipment will be though.

AA already flies ORD-SUX (the only current commercial service on any airline to SUX I believe)

Not LGA-MVY? I don't even think a plane could take-off from MVY's tiny runway and make it to Dallas, but I could be wrong.

DFW is the AA mega hub and the center of the country. That isn't out of the way. Bozeman to DFW opens up the whole Southeast, lower Midwest and East Coast, as well as International. PHX would open none of these.....talk about out of the way.....Bozeman to PHX would be out of the way.

I wasn't aware they already did ORD-SUX...adding in DFW then makes more sense.

I did a bit of looking around and this 1986 NYT article says they used to bring 737s and DC-9s in there.

I heard an elevator tech at LAX say that LAX-HKG will have to be postponed as the 77W they were going to use on that route is going to DFW-BZN instead.

I can't imagine I'd ever fly that route; honestly I just hope they keep the flagship lounge in LIT open and they don't downgauge LIT-NRT.

ETA–bad news, and being totally serious: DFW-MVY is well within the range of an E-175. I wouldn't expect anything bigger for that route. Same for BZN, if my armchair CEOing is to be believed.
