As scope is whittled, there will be more RJ's for former mainline hopefuls to retire on.
That's definitely a possibility. I'm wondering how much leniency the bankruptcy judge will give AMR in regards to the contract. This bankruptcy was pretty tenuous since AMR's cash position is much better than other companies that filed for Chap 11. I'm still surprised they were granted a bankruptcy, but then again I'm not a financial wizard. If I was I wouldn't be a profesional pilot.... LOL.
I think AMR is going to have to present a very good case to make any significant changes to the contracts. Of course anything could happen....
