I think AMR would have to promise bigger jets or a longer contract to make it worthwhile for them, that would of course involve retraining at a later date that's more $$$$. Is it really even worth their time to bid?
That's why is likely that if AMR will outsource any flying it will be the larger RJ it might be able to acquire from the APA SCOPE changes!
