Well if American plans on keeping most of it's fleet then the Eagle flow through may start back up again at a point sooner than expected. The 300 or so pilots that retired early were not expected to cause a significant pilot shortage because parking or getting rid of aircraft under chap 11 would have absorbed the effect of that pilot shortage. Also, American is reported to have a higher pilot density per aircraft than other legacy carriers which was also expected to negate the effect of a pilot shortage. Apparently, that's part of the APA contract.

So just wondering how soon the Eagle flow throughs will resume. I would guess sometime within the next year but probably sooner.

All speculation on my part of course. I don't mind throwing in a bit of optimism to the discussion but a grain of salt is need with that as well...
