While I don't doubt that JFK-PVG would be a good moneymaker, I doubt that AA would dump JFK-NRT even if AA wins the freqencies.

That makes no sense. While I will not be shocked to see them go for JFK-PVG (the rumours are that AA will be trying for either LAX-PEK or JFK-PVG), I don't think it has anything to do with the other. JFK-NRT can actually help their case with DOT for JFK-PVG, showing they already have a commitment to NYC-Asia service. JFK-NRT actually is a profitable service for AA. They already helped run Northwest out of the market, and perform far better than UA, even though UA has feed on the NRT side.

is the 777 sold as a two class flight or a three class?
answered my own question
looked it up in SABRE....the 777 transcon will be sold as a three class. good to see three class AFS return to MIA-LAX. was afraid they would just sell the business class cabin as coach, like they have done so many other times.

Why must everything now be a response to jetBlue?
jetBlue has nothing to do with it. American Eagle freed up a LaGuardia slot, and decided to enter JAX-LGA, a high-yield market with very limited service. It has nothing to do with jetBlue.
Sorry. Since JB recently started A320 service to JAX from NY, I guessed, that AE was try to make a competitive move.
My bad.

No need to apologize, I totally get where you are coming from. It seems jetBlue can't introduce a new route without DL, US, AA, or somebody responding. However, this is one case where jetBlue had little influence. AA has a small but loyal business FF base out of JAX, thanks largely to the fact they offer the only non-stops to Miami and St. Louis, two of the most important business travel markets from JAX. LaGuardia lets them exploit this farther.
