AMR owns the name and can do what they please with it. This is, IMO, the big slap in the face part. They state they'll use "the stronger American Eagle" name. But WE are that name.
This is virtually no different than if they chose to call all codeshare flights "American Airlines" and renamed current AA and then allowed them to be one of many who operate as "American Airlines".
