How can they brand themselves as Eagle when there actually exists an airline named American Eagle?
You mean like how Chautauqua started flying as Continental Express after ExpressJet had been Continental Express Airlines, Inc? (Other airlines even after the COEX name change to XJT had still been Continental Connection)
The precedent has already been set. The Eagle guys who remember XJT's spin-off from Continental know what's coming.
American announced that they are completely doing away with "American Connection" if you didn't see the press release.
