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.
They're crazy if they do. All it is, is a four yr. Contract basically to cover flying leaving with eagle emj. In four yrs. AA will want different planes not 200's and they will have to bid again.
