Restart:
ORD-DEL, of course, but this time without the nasty FAs who would get first pick because of seniority.
ORD-MEX: how can a serious airline with a hub in ORD not serve this route?

...and many other international routes out of ORD, such as ICN, HKG, GUA (not just once a week but daily), etc....lthough I admit I avoid flying AA internationally because of the security theater out of some countries.

ORD - OGG (Kahului Airport on Maui)
ORD - HNL (year-round, not just seasonal)

BOS-SFO

I believe the highest OD pair that AA doesn't service, and I can't believe I am the first to say it.

Shocking, frankly - I would think if they want contracts in BOS or SFO, they'd need to serve this route.

Would definitely be a loss leader though.

How about: PHL-TLV, ORD-HEL, ORD-DME.

This. Having not really lived in a city with a nonstop to TLV, this was my favorite connection, other than the fact that they didn't believe in turning off the seatbelt sign.

For that matter, I'd like to see PVD-LGA/JFK. It's only 180 miles away, but getting to NYC from PVD (on AA) currently is a huge hassle. Either drive to BOS and deal with that whole mess or endure some asinine routing like PVD-PHL-DCA-LGA. Given the choice, I'd probably take the train. Given that UA charges over $500 for PVD-EWR, there's certainly demand for this route.
UA likely charges $500 because they don't want to take local passengers on the route and they need to make up for the cost of displacing a passenger with better network benefit. In the most recent quarter that DOT data is available, UA only carried 12.9 local passengers (so only about 5% of the passengers they carry on the flight). I'm guessing AA sees more value in connecting them via other hubs whereas UA chooses to use EWR for those connections.

Definitely not going to happen but I love see JFK to SIN on an A350 in AA colors.

SAN-SFO would be great but I have any realistic expectation that it will ever happen.
