Further more if were shrinking Eagle should be even more willing to let more then 35/month go. Eagle has around 2900 pilots on the list. 240 of those will be at AA by next spring. That leaves about 2600 of us. Divide that by 35 a month and you end up with about 6-7 years. This doesn't even take into account pilots that won't accept it or the ones that will go to FedEx, delta, united etc. Which IMO will be a large number.
You're hitting the pipe yourself, son.
Sure Eagle might have the ability to let those numbers of pilots go to AA, but AA won't have the ability to take them that fast..........and that's IF AMR chooses to honor the agreement and not scrap it as the language allows in any number of ways.
You're counting your chickens before the eggs have even been layed, let alone hatched.
