Only the time will tell.
AA want's more operators to whipsaw against each other much like Delta, US and UA. That’s the model AA’s shooting for which is not good for Eagle. IMO I think AA’s executives plan to give the contracts for larger equipment to other carriers while Eagle parks smaller jets helping AA control feeder cost.

I see shrinking in Eagles future. As for ExpressJet, being spun off didn’t exactly work out for them and until Inc. purchased them their future wasn’t so bright.

I do wish all at Eagle the best of luck and for your sake I hope I’m wrong. We’ll see…… I hope I get an “I told you so” from you in a few years.
