I don't think they are going to put the flying up for bid. I think in 3-5 years the flying is just going to go away. The 50 seat RJs are beginning to time out and nobody is making a 50 seater. So my guess is you are going to see 2 for 1. Parking 2/3 RJs and replacing then with 1/2 bigger RJs or 1/2 mainline planes.
So your thinking the airline will shrink approximately 60%. It makes sense becase remember Eagle now has to answere to share holders and needs to be profitable or risk liquidation. They no longer have AMR's pocket book to dip into.
