I don't think Airways intends to disperse of the wholly owneds all together. Of course I don't know, but I do know...
A) Airways has two of them.
B) There's been no explicit talk of doing away with us from Tempe
C) We've not seen a precipitous drawdown like Comair.
Geezz...American Eagle a well known name.. I want what your smoking... Regional airlines are the ghosts of major airlines. "what airline do you work for?" .....uhh...insert regional____...
.."hmm. never heard of it"....we do work for AA/UAL/US/DALetc ... ."Ohhhh thats cool"
Everybody is speculating on whats going to happen, who cares. Were not in control. Some will probably lose their job, and for some nothing will change. I never want to see a pilot lose their job... unless its go-jets/mesa or something like that.
Bottom line is what ever happens, regionals need to stop bending over and taking ****ty contracts. Business is about making a return on investment, making money and drinking beer. Period.
