Going seasonal would kill the route. I suspect that, as I mentioned earlier, so long as fuel costs are not an issue, AA will give the route time to develop, but I fear for it's future were there to be a price shock. Of course, what we don't know, is whether AA's pricing strategy is to get decent revenue on the seats they sell, rather than working like busy fools and slashing fares.
