Well, if ATW says it's so, it must be.

Seriously though, I certainly hope so, but since AMR has made all the wrong decisions over the last decade, one wonders if anything will change. That being said, AMR's scope proposal loads up on larger RJ's and worse yet, demands a blank checke on code-sharing.

Reading that article implies if the first blunder doesn't kill mainline jobs, the other possibility might. Eagle could be the domestic code-share operator of the Airbuses and that would bs bad for UAL and DAL, unless their labor costs were made competitive.
