I’d hardly call ORD a win for AA. Sure they added a seasonal ATH, but canceled year round PEK and PVG, seasonal MAN, and downsized year round NRT to just 3x weekly. From ORD AA will have only one solitary long haul international route with year round daily service (LHR).
UA (and to a lesser extent DL) must be rubbing its hands with glee at AA’s long haul demise at ORD.

AA route changes announced 21 Aug 2018, inc cutting ORD-PVG
Regarding PRG, AA also flies PHL-PRG (seasonal) and is reportedly doing well, but some (in the same thread above) also complain about that too...

Personally, I welcome more West Coast-EU routes. SFO-MUC launched last year and SFO-ZRH this year seem to be doing (very) well.
788 would be my guess, possibly pulled from ZRH, which can support higher capacity upfront going forward.

If I recall correctly, wasn't UA rumored to be looking into a second European city from DEN? Also, I am sure we will hear about what routes the 78J will be used on next summer during the winter.

Prague, IMHO, deserves a West Coast connection - if AA is happy with its seasonal service, I could see LAX-PRG on a 788. Aside from strong tourist demand, it is a mid-sized business/conference destination with an excellent value proposition to keep growing. Heck, BA from LCY, Turkish, EK and QR have recently been increasing capacity to the city, and there are rumors PHL-PRG could be served by an A332 next year.

From DEN? I’d say any additional long haul would have to be TATL. CDG may work. Maybe MUC (connections to LH)?

LOL.
In the UK there’s a parody Twitter account called Slow Sports News that posts years out of date “news” to dumbfound occasional readers. Your post would qualify for an air travel version.
Let’s see all that copying. SFO-CTU, SFO-TLV, SFO-SIN, IAD-TLV. Plus the short lived LAX-SIN on a 789 that proved SQ didn’t need to order the ULR to fly that route.
Delta’s route announcement included a second daily NYC-TLV. That’s copying UA.

MUC is already year-round daily LH A359. CDG, ZRH and maybe AMS (now that they fly from all major Intl hubs there) seem to be the only candidates IMO.
