Chicago is a big hub for both American and United, so its always possible flights could be added to there. EWR/JFK are both pretty full, with slots difficult to come by. Both United and American have both been switching flights away from New York out of EDI, changing to IAD and PHL respectively. If a route is heavily dependent on transfers, then the airlines seem to prefer to avoid New York at the moment.
Never say never, however I'd still have thought if an American carrier was to launch flights to Newcastle, it would be from New York first.
