American just announced several new international and domestic destinations today:
From Dallas/Fort Worth:
-New service to Beaumont, Fargo, and Columbia, MO bgins February 14

It will be interesting to see how American and Korean duke it out in the Dallas-Seoul market.
From Chicago:
-New service to Columbia, MO begins February 14
-New service to Dusseldorf, Germany begins April 11
From New York (JFK)
-New service to Dublin, Ireland begins June 12 (this one is seasonal)
No, but they are already starting to see some fruits from it. They are already recording operating profits again. However, they havent recorded overall profits because of Chapter 11 costs. Below were their profit margins from last quater. The first number is RASM and the second is CASM:
Atlantic AA - 1.1% / 13.72
Latin America AA - 9.4% / 16.89
Pacific AA - (9.8%) / 12.19
I have it on good word that the losses over the Pacific are coming entirely from China. Tokyo is very profitable for American. Unfortunately for AA, Delta and United pretty much kick their tails in China. DFW-Tokyo is one of the most profitable flights in the airline's entire network.
Remember in 2006, right before Delta came out of Chapter 11, Delta launched Atlanta-Dubai/Vienna/Prague. Then right afterward, they launched Atlanta-Johannesburg via Dakar.
Airlines tend to come out swinging toward the end of Chapter 11.

so they won't be bought by usa airways. i wish they never dehubbed boston
since its air Berlin why doesn't AA fly to berlin?
Air Berlin has two hubs: Berlin and Dusseldorf. Air Berlin is beginning service to Chicago in the spring from Berlin. AA will have its code on that flight, so it makes sense to connect Chicago to the other Air Berlin hub.
