I might be making things up, but I think US flew DCA-SAT prior to the merger with a slot exemption (which obviously moved somewhere else if this is true since then).

Loss of a few corporate contracts? I took this flight back in Dec. While it was fairly full in J but i believe it was very light in the back. The load factor cant be good. LX provides an excellent onboard product but I cant stand the Swiss so I choose not to fly them. But they probably cornered the market on this route.

that combined with the focus moving to PHL, the route got whacked.

There's a pretty fun thread going on on the Delta board right now, entitled What (nonstop) route do you wish Delta would really have?. I think (and I'm sure many here would agree) that routes and route speculation are fun, so I figured I'd start a similar thread for American. Mods, if one already exists that I didn't see then please feel free to merge.
Anyway, I'll start. My in-laws live near the Tri-Cities in Washington State so I really wish AA flew to PSC. PHX-PSC would probably make the most sense and would mean that I wouldn't need the Alaska codeshare to get out there. On the other hand, I can totally understand why they don't fly that route...
Anyone else have any wishlist flights? Either brand new or formerly served?

SEA-PHL early morning flight
Can no longer fly non-stop to catch the PHL-MUC 4:40pm flight.
Also AA just added SEA-PHL Flight 2113 non-stop but it arrives too late to fly to most destinations in Europe except PRG.

For this week at least, 2113 is scheduled to arrive in PHL at 4:24. While it may not connect with MUC at 4:40, it does connect with FRA (6:25), FCO (6:30), MAD (5:05--MCT is :35 coming from mainline or :40 coming from Eagle), BCN (6:45), AMS (6:55), LHR (7:20), VCE (6:45), ZRH (6:35), GLA (7:05), and BUD (6:20)--I may have missed one or two. The only ones in the early (5-7pm) bank that it misses are MUC as you pointed out and ATH (4:30). Flights in the later 8-9pm bank (CDG, MAN, LIS, LHR, etc.) are served by the noon departure from SEA arriving in PHL at 8:11.

I did a 30k mile award saver check for September and AMS was available($5.60 in taxes), BUD($25.00 in taxes); Gla ($65.40 in taxes); VCE ($5.60); BCN ($5.60)
I did book today for September SEA-PRG 30k AA Award + ($25.00 in taxes).
SEA - MUC October 2018 30K * ($105.00 in taxes).

Used to be 4 Mad Dogs a day, then 3, then suddenly 0. For those of us in the northern parts of Los Angeles, it's a hassle to drive to LAX (especially in the mornings) to get anywhere other than PHX on AA metal.
