So I am guessing they will just renegotiate the contract.
Or AA cancels the CPA without cause, assumes the leases, and then walks away from them in BK. AA is already trying to walk away from $2billion in RJ debt, what is 14 more shells?
When you combine these 14 RJ's with the 15 145's coming off of CPA at CAL, the RAH FFD will be down 29 aircraft in the next 10 months.

The Continental Code-Share Agreement
W
e operate 15 E145 aircraft for Continental under a fixed-fee code-share agreement and provided 88 flights per day as Continental Express.
Unless otherwise extended or amended, the E145 code-share agreement terminates on September 4, 2012."
What remains for CHQ? The 24 145's operated for DAL?
With no 190 deliveries on the horizon (that lawsuit against LOA 67 is looking worse and worse every day), where are all the displaced pilots going to end up? I am definitely not celebrating the potential for 100's of furloughs, I am just wondering what the Biz Agent for the Local 357 was thinking when he sued his own employer and a group of fellow pilots during such a difficult economic time. In retrospect, the ramifications are going to be devastating to the native RAH IBT pilots.
