I've heard a couple remarks on this and I think the only guys wanting this are the really senior guys who only have a few years left or the really junior guys who get excited about the thought of flying a bigger airplane. Most of the guys talking about it are just yanking your chain and messing around, from my perspective. Anyone wishing to get these aircraft either have ulterior motives or clearly do not see the big picture.
I really hope American is somehow able to maintain it's current scope. I know that is highly unlikely though, so hopefully they can limit it to the E175.
That being said, I was hoping to make a career out of this. Eagle is not what I had in mind.
As a side note, I readily admit that I may have a reoccurring wet dream of combining the seniority lists. Maybe you should put that at the forefront of your negotiations.
