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?
Being at both OH and eagle, I can tell you the relationship between the mainline and wholly owned are 180 of each other. When I jump seat on DL now a days I still don't bring up OH, it just makes the flight to quiet.
