May I make one suggestion to those that are benefiting: Don't get comfortable with AMR. Since 2007, BOS has closed, CRJ DFW was shifted to ORD and LGA, Saabs were grounded, a huge and cool base of SJU has been whittled down to nothing, DFW ATR opened and closed in a 3 year period, SJU soon to disappear, two furlough rounds, multiple Vacancy, displacements (four in 2009 alone) effecting hundreds of pilots, not to mention ground personal and FAs all having to up root families it quit.

I could go on and on. But my point is, don't go to DFW and buy a house, fall in love, have a kid or do anything that requires long term commitments. 4 years from now, it might belong to Silver. Actually, I'm kind of surprised AMR hasn't given them some portion of the flying already.

And Eagle hasn't really shrunk in terms of pilots...just.shifted around.
