Looking at AA growth, it will be many years before the first pilot of this agreement gets their first crack at AA. By then, it may be years of former Eagle pilots being on the street. The first of these pilots wouldn't likely see AA until 2014 or so and Eagle could be furloughing in months depending on the ASA and what the plan is for Eagle.
I'm told the bump from 35% to 50% is not a requirement, but is at AMR's descretion. Not sure if that's true, but regardless, it's going to be slow going for Eagle pilots movement to AA with the exception of those already with AA numbers and the more senior of the 800 group.
