AA PHX-LHR flights??
What happened PHX to LHR flights? They supposed to resume the flight for this month? Did they change the flights? Did they suspended the flight to December 1st??

It would appear that AA has indefinitely suspended it until April 2021 whereas British Airways has limited select service in December and onward.

Nobody expected the US Presidential Proclamation to stay active for more than 6 months when the PHX-LHR route was first postponed to December.
UK hasn't established a travel corridor with the USA ( -> quarantine ), nor the USA is accepting visitors & several visa type holders arriving from the UK
So, IMO, for an unforeseeable future, this route would remain BA only with x3 weekly flights only.

Flights are generally not busy - my upcoming flight to Philly on EF only has 20+ seats allocated. My BA flight to UK from Chicago had less than 40 passengers.

Not "who" but "what." In some cases there may be enough cargo for a route to be somewhat more economical to operate (at reduced frequencies) than the low pax numbers would suggest.

With that said, I don't see PHX-LHR starting any time soon. If it ever does, I'd give it a few years before it actually happens.
