Best case for Eagle is get a written 5-10 year contract with AA, which it seems they want to give us since they want to spin us off. Get an ASA for 250 planes, including have an order/trade in placed with the bank of Brazil for EMJ70+ seaters and we would be all for the USAIR merger at that point. 175 EMJ145s, 50 CRJ700s and 50 EMJ175s would be the best bet for Eagle, all ordered with an ASA with AA. But thats the dream wish.
