It would be a waste of time as it would cost millions. Aside from the fact "team Tony" has zero leverage, that deal is already done.

Eagle's future is marginal and they know it. Yes, SOME larger RJ's will come, but the bad news is when the U merger deal goes through, a lot of those larger RJ orders will go to one or more of the current U feeders and I'd be surprised if more then half the current 3000 pilots of Eagle find a post merger chair to sit in when the stand alone AA music stops. E-190's are already flown by U mainline and the APA agreements with Parker keep that concept. The E-175/CRJ-900 will be the largest RJ and the future merged AA/U and not all Eagle pilots will get a slice of pie. Poor SF3 might even end up an F/O again and wouldn't that be a sad note ?
