Throughout the past several years, we've seen a slow but steady decline in the number of flights at ORD by AA. International routes have been discontinued BRU, EZE, FRA, GLA, and NGO to name a few. Many domestic cities have been reduced or eliminated altogether and many others have transitioned to Eagle service like Hartford and White Plains/Westchester Cty. Clearly UA has been making gains at ORD on many of AA's bread and butter routes. AA is operating fewer flights and the remaining flights being transitioned to Eagle can't be a good thing for ORD long term. Rather than battling UA, why not fortify DFW and MIA while trying to make gains in NYC?
