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.

Well, according to AMRs official press releases, the Boeing and Airbus deals are still going forward "full steam ahead". So while not an absolute certainty (nothing ever is) its not a "rumor". The flow through deals are yet to be determined, but since they are mostly arbitrated grievance settlements, not negotiated contracts, I would be willing to bet they stay in place, since they benefit both companies and cost nothing.
