In recent years UA has IAD gone, US to CLT has gone (despite continual protests it would return), DL and AA both dropped JFK, no sign of DTW despite it's seemingly "imminent" announcement, VS cut frequency to ATL/JFK, VS BOS/SFO ending earlier than originally planned this season, AA ORD seasonal. Even TCX have dropped MIA. With UA cutting EWR from other U.K. regional points it's hard to see UA upgrading to a 767 - more than likely to be pulled too.
TCX really has grabbed the US market and ran away it and it's clear that more point to point options they offer the more the legacies will struggle. AA's connecting JFK traffic will be shifted to ORD and PHL which will undoubtedly help them out while the rest will be mopped up by TCX, VS and LHR.
It is far from a disaster but obviously not enough market for everyone to have a piece of the pie.
