No, I never did. that being said though, AMR (corporation) has what seemed to an outsider to be a different relationship with Eagle than DAL management did with CMR or ASA.. at least until they bought them. DAL management learned that they could whipsaw the RJ carriers against each other when they are NOT part of the corporation, vice what they can do as a wholly owned subsidiary. It always seemed to me that we should have figured a way to get CMR on the seniority list, and we would have owned that flying (eventually) but management decided to cut their losses and divest them. AMR management has taken a decidedly different tack by keeping Eagle and whipsawing you two against each other. But a question for you as I have not studied the term sheets; Are they really trying to get the A319s at Eagle?
