I can guarantee that American management is going to make sure this works in their favor. They claim that one of the main reasons that they are losing money right now is due to inefficient aircraft, hence the new aircraft order that was announced. I don't for one second see them hanging on to inefficient aircraft in their regional feed longer than they have to. On paper this looks like a win for Eagle pilots, but if you read between the lines management won themselves an out and a way to diversify feed.
