AA seems to have got a hurry up message from the JAL experience.

Some interesting possibilities if it does lead to some AA codeshares on B6.Apparently there will be B6 codeshares on some AA international routes so hoping it may go the other way as well.May upset LH who own ~ 20% of B6.
PS-this was issued 31/3 not 1/4.

The JFK T8 is interesting - I currently try to spend more time at the T8 F/L before heading to catch an ex T7 (QF, CX, BA) flight.
