Has anyone else heard anything about this?
The only thing close to this that I have heard was back before BK during the TA negotiations.
AMR kept claiming that "other" carriers could repace our flying and some had already expressed interest. This was misleading.
In reality, there was/is nobody who could replace our flying on the jet side. But, our prop flying is repalceable. By who, I never found out but pretty much guessed Colgan and/or Commutair. This could be what they are looking in to.
