AMR will get larger RJ's. Some will likely go to Eagle, but others to........well, others.
Remember, regardless of the 1113 for Eagle pilots, they still have a major longevity problem and awarding many of those future E-175's and/or CRJ-900's to others not only provides whipsaw capability for AMR, it allows another to underbid or equal bid Eagle due to the likelyhood they won't have maxed out 15-eyear captains and 6th year F/O's, but much cheaper labor.
Wingtips is counting her chickens before they've hatched (a common error to those new to this industry).
