AA has announced another round of route cuts. The only post-COVID routes that remain are Aspen, Nashville, and Orange County (I think AA served Cancun and Cabo at least seasonally before COVID). I seriously doubt RDU comes back as planned in the Spring.

I’ve heard that American is expecting another post-recovery Q3 with losses which is far behind how Delta and United have performed. Even with DL’s disastrous weekend they will likely still come out ahead this quarter.
This seems to leave an opportunity for Delta which has been struggling for gate space since the start of the Midland, McAllen and Nashville flights in April.
