HPN as focal city
HPN to ORD, DFW, LAX, SEA, MIA
and why not make HPN good for connections so on to LCY (the return would be LCY-SNN-HPN)
If I worked for AA, I'd be fired for making this kind of proposal

Re-Introduce:
TUL-LAX (would be content with an American Eagle E-175)
ORD-DEL
Any Hub besides PHL to ZRH
BOS-CDG
ORD-YOW (if memory serves me correctly AA flew this route)
ORD-UVF (Seasonally)
CLT-HNL Seasonally (Doubtful)
Introduce:
TUL-PHL (CR7 or CR9)
TUL-LGA/JFK (CR7 or CR9) -- United Express flew EWR-TUL on an E145 for years!
TUL-PHX (AA has been reluctant on this one probably due to WN flying it nonstop)
JLN (Joplin, MO) - ORD
CHO (Charlottesville, VA) - DFW
ORD-AUA
ORD-EDI
ORD/JFK-BFS (UA dropped service to Belfast)
JFK-DBV (Doubtful, but would be the only carrier offering nonstop service from the U.S. To Croatia-- not sure if it would be lucrative for cargo?)
JFK-CAI (Doubtful and would go head to head with MS-- EgyptAir)
ORD-OGG (Doubtful, but one can wish
)
JFK-ANC Seasonally (Doubtful, but you never know)
DFW-DUB (Also doubtful, but would mAAke AA the only carrier to fly nonstop from Texas to Dublin/Ireland)
JFK-HNL Would go head to head with HA, and seasonally with DL, and with UA on EWR-HNL
JFK/ORD/DFW/LAX (whichever is most lucrative) - MNL (AA would rake in cash with Filipino Americans bringing boxes upon boxes of gifts-- especially during the long Christmas season that lasts from September until December-- to families still living at home in the Philippines)

I did not know that. It must be somewhat new. I haven't flown the route this year yet so haven't really looked. In year's past I've flown in a couple times a year and do have to make a trip in Oct so that is helpful. Now I just need PHX to BNA and/or PHX/LAX to MEL and PHX to Europe and I guess I'm good haha

Because the local NIMBYs dont want HPN to grow. Parking also sucks here; off site long term parking is $16 per day! Even JFK only charges $18 per day for long term parking.

HPN is not likely to grow. AA tried to get a variance many years ago to allow the S80 to fly there. The fuselage is too long (in length) to meet County restrictions. The County said no to the request. That left AA with the only option being to downgrade HPN-ORD service to Eagle, since the 738 was no longer going to operate out of ORD. I doubt AA will add mainline service back to HPN anytime soon, even though AA now operates aircraft that would meet County restrictions (A319, etc).

I'd like to see this as well, but I figure too much competition from B6 and DL. Would love to see BOS-LAS again, but with B6 mint I'd rather take them then AA
