What's to be made of this? It looks to me like AMR is planning on keeping only 19 of the CRJ-700's. I really hope I'm missing something here because if that's the case ya'll are in for a much rougher ride.
AMR plans to pay $10.2M to
keep 19 regional jets
Fort Worth-based AMR Corp. will pay
$10.2 million to keep 19 regional jets that
it uses for American Eagle flights, the
Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported, citing
a bankruptcy filing made Tuesday evening.
AMR said it expects to pay $550,000 each
for the Bombardier CRJ-700s on which it
owes money, the Star-Telegram reported.
The company also listed 28 CRJ-700s in the
filing on which AMR says it does not need
to make payments on.
The 47 planes are the youngest aircraft in
American Eagle's fleet with half of the
airplanes made between 2001 and 2004
and the others manufactured in the past
two years, the Star-Telegram reported.
