These airlines are so big HSR isn't going to affect them at this point. The Texas-centric Southwest of the late 80s/early 90s that buttered its bread on routes like Dallas-Houston, yes, but the ginormous AA/UA/SW of today - no. The Acela opening didn't affect all of the airlines who previously flew NYC-DC but reduced the number of point to point flights they needed to fly and opened up those flight slots for longer (and generally more profitable) flights.

American needs to focus on finding enough pilots and staff to man its operations - right now, not having to fly so many Dallas-Houston flights might be rather welcome!
