Embraer

News flash: AMR has less cash on hand, as a percentage of revenue, than NW had when they filed. AMR is in a vastly different stage than those lines were. Different economy, different chapter 11, different competitive environment. AMR has to watch for several hostile takeover enemies--especially LCC.

Eagle is going to change hugely, if AMR can change scope at AA. The 50-swatted are toast, but 70-seaters and/or larger planes may come. OTOH, AA might make a "B-scale" like in their last contract proposal for 90-149 seat jets and eliminate Eagle thru bankruptcy. Thus is only day ONE.

WRT the Boeing/Airbus order, none of those planes have arrived, probably won't until the case is closed, so they aren't FACTS, just rumors.
