Yes, many here ARE "on board" with an Eagle pilot inclusion for one seniority list, but it has always been AMR who dicides that, so what one pilot says means little as remember that we too are at the mercy of a judge. If AMR sses that arraingement as in their best interest, it could become reality, but if they don't forget about it.

Actually, if you read your own term sheet, the "flow though" language and options don't seem to support AMR's interest in an SSL. If they were thinking along SSL lines there would be no need to waste time with all that methodology and language for the 238 or the 824.
