Not sure why so many people think the 50 seat limit was an Eagle thing. That is pure AA, and it will stick! No one will fly feed for AA with anything more then that. Unless by some miracle the AA pilots give that up, and I do NOT see that happening!
Especially since a big part of that 460 plane order was for 260 airbus, with 124 seat Airbus 319's one of the three Airbus models being purchased.
