Winter cut backs

Why is there so much hype about a winter reduction in capacity on routes to the US? Air Transat and Air Canada drop their routes to Dublin for the winter. US airlines reduce capacity every other year so why the fuss now?
No one is fussing about reductions to destinations in the Med in the winter?

All US routes are sustained by business travellers, those visiting friends and relatives and those on holiday. Stands to sense that the holiday traffic plus some of the friends and relatives business is less when the weather in the North East of the US is not so good and that is a time when US airlines move capacity from Europe (as our weather is also not the best) to Florida, the Caribean and Mexico where many Americans holiday in the winter
