American service to PDX is minor so it seems unlikely that we'll see a flight to their Miami hub any time soon. Hopefully Alaska will jump in there. We need London service to add to our growing list of international destinations; Tokyo, Frankfurt, four cities in Mexico, and our old friend Vancouver.

I wouldn't expect American to run a non-stop between PDX and Miami any time soon. AA has never been very profitable with PDX and will actually be canceling its service to Chicago after Christmas. That will leave only 4 American flight per day out of PDX on American - all of them to Dallas.
AA is also a codeshare partner with Alaska, so if PDX ever gets a direct flight to Miami, I would imagine it would be operated by Alaska.
