There is no clear answer to what happened between AMR and the leaser of the ERJs, rumor has it that it didn't go well and that AMR was told keep them all or return them, most of these ERJ leases are coming up and it seems AMR will be returning most if not all of them, we have been told the ERJ 135's will be returned by next year end and the ERJ 140's are not far behind. The question is how these returns are taking place, is it an exchange or just a straight return. AMR needed to move some of the ERJ to the east coast while Sky West had some aircraft available out west, AMR wants to diverstify their feed and this allows them to start the process. What will happen with the larger Rj's is still up in the air, will AMR continue the relationship with RAH still in the air as well. Skywest will supply the aircraft, maintenance and crews while AMR will control everything else. Likely we will see other feeder join in out in the east cost likely and ORD, many rumor, many volutes but that is all that is happening at this time. Eagle is recalling and hiring, i suspect it will be hard to recruit as we don't have a fleet size projection and we are about to vote on a TA while still in BK. It is likely over the next few weeks that AMR will announce and aircraft order of larger RJ as we vote and as AA's new negotiations gain track they will announce recalls and that will include 230 or so Eagle captains that have the option to flow (how many will go it is still in the air). As far as SKW owning Eagle, is you are AMR you will likely not do this as this will give SKW to much control over the market feed and will be harder to whipsaw. AMR is very controlling and you can see that in the terms that we can read in regards to the SKW CPA! Much is in the air, the sky is not falling at least yet, if you came to eagle between summer 2010 and spring 2011 you are still standing in a getter position that if you would have gone to RAH, SKW and other places as you still have somewhere between 600 to 400 pilots below you but we know things change quite fast in the industry and the next few things will be likely to tell a lot as Delta continues to announce parking 50 seaters, United continues with their TA and American distributes large RJ flying.
