I'm not saying its the exact same situation, but there is no reason to get worked up until the dotted line is signed. On top of that even if it does go down, it isn't going to happen over night. It will take quite some time.
This is also very true. People forget the Ae contract is coming to a close. I still think it is plausible that this is a scare tactic to get concessions, and to get the top guys to leave eagle for AA. They have been saying for some time one of the reasons eagle is so expensive is because we are to top heavy. the top 361 people at eagle have 20 plus years service. the top 400 is 15 plus years. If they can thin out the top and get some concessions AA would be real Happy.
