Not only did AA cut out 1/2 of flights from STL to MCO, they also severely cut the commuter connections into STL.
Our local airport went from 10 flights daily to 3.
This severly impacted my flights in November. Since I had heard it was coming, I called AA and they told me it was to happen on 7/20, probably at midnight.
So, I stayed up late Saturday night/Sunday morning, and right after midnight I was able to access new schedule, but could not see my reservation. I was very concerned because flight home on Sunday is already almost full.
I picked new flights and called AA about 1:00 a.m. Was able to change flights and pick seats (they did a horrible job reassigning seats). We now leave from home about 4 hours earlier (have to take DS out of school early that day), and will leave to come home 4 hours early (good-bye to that trip to DTD).
Luckily everything worked okay for us, I hope it does for everyone.
