STL "rightsizing"

[Dont call me Shirley]

Over at airliners.net, there is a discussion about AA fleet and route re alignment plans.
http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/g...d.main/4552547/
It includes this claim: STL loses the following service:

(Atlanta), (Austin), (Cedar Rapids), (Charlotte), (Des Moines), (Indianapolis), (Jacksonville), (Las Vegas), (Madison), (Milwaukee), (Minneapolis/St. Paul), (Nashville), (Newark), (New Orleans), (Norfolk), (Northwest Regional Arkansas), (Oklahoma City), (Orlando), (Philadelphia), (Raleigh/Durham), (Richmond), (San Antonio), (San Diego), (San Francisco), (Springfield), (Tulsa), (Washington/Dulles), (Wichita).



If true, this would be devastating. Has anyone on this board heard this and what is the source?

It's not just an airliners.net discussion; it's real.

Local STL media has published the list of cities losing service.

Sadly, it's the end of anything resembling hub status at STL - from now on, STL is just a spoke with some point to point focus city service.

[Yes its true.Good riddance to AA lets hope someone comes in to bear the low hanging fruit still there.Funny when asked why STL took the biggest hit again AA says nothing.Lets hope STL has nowhere to go but up.Look for people to boycott AA in STL.FF flyers talk with their pocketbook. :down:

The reduction in flights at STL is under discussion in at least two other threads. This one is closed.
