As for if US and AA merge, I can see it all three wholly's merged like pinalcolaba, and aircraft moved to different certs AE-erjs, PSA-crj200/700, pdt-dash/atr.
ATW has indicated that AMR's seeking of scope relief and 88 seat parity with legacy competitors and some airframes up to max gross weight of 114,000 lbs. (say "E190")...and ATRs to be phased out in 2013.
AMRs reports/indicates negotiations for 250 regional airframes. Scope discussions indicate the elimination of 98 E135/145s. AE currently operates approximately 47 CRJ-700s. Sustainable operators for the 70-88 seat airframes will most likely be SkyWest, RAH, and TSA. What's left of the 50 seat market will most likely be, again, AE, and throwing in a LCC/AMR merger, PSA may have a bite.
That's what my crystal ball is indicating...
Of course that is all speculation!
