Is AA giving up on Chicago?

No. Load factors are very good out of Chicago. They would be crazy to hand that to UAL. Maybe some fleet changes will happen, but not a pull out ever.
One other point that will keep AA in Chicago forever, almost all the One World partners want to go to Chicago not Dallas or Charlotte. A few want to also go to Dallas but not that many.
