Wanna really throw a kink in everybody's panties.....
how about they do flying for other One World Partners.....
They do it now as an AA code share... once spun off, and with the recent DOT authorization for anywhere there are open skies agreements; Eagle already is a member of the one world alliance... seems to me they woudl meet the definitions required to do that flying as stand alone flying; which explains their new scope additions detailing direct flying not done as part of a CPA... they could code share with Iberia and BA and everybody else....
They also will no longer be AMR owned, and could easily put all the 700's and ATR's on the executive certificate, order larger E190 or C-series and operate them on the code share and stand alones, and let the 135/140/145 and 50 CRJ's continue doing AA feed on the Eagle certificate.
With the larger C-series or E190's they could even interline with AA for their same routes they do now... just like AA did with jetBlue.
interesting times this will be
