American's been bleeding money for years, and wouldn't be surprised to see them go through re-org bankruptcy yet. They've been focusing on re-configuring to put everything (and I mean *everything) through one of their hubs (Chicago, Dallas, Miami, LAX, New York). There are very, very few routes left that don't route through one of those airports. And they are cutting those one by one (like RDU-BOS)

This probably does not bode well for RDU. American is one of the big ones. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jul 28, 08:52 1
- AA is pretty committed to RDU from what I can tell. They are even running a triple-miles promotion there for the rest of the year - ty97 Jul 28, 08:56
Yup, that's why I'm flying Alaska back from Seattle. At least I can use my AA miles for that. - MojaveMeg Jul 28, 08:50
