It could pan out, but I just dont see why. I could see the rumor side, but MIA NYC and ORD work out great for the current Eagle because of shared destinations and the MX system in place. The airplanes as well for MIA cycle for JFK, ie a plane goes starting at 5am CVG-MIA-CLE-JFK-ORF-MIA-CVG <--ends 11pm. Do not get too excited for MIA as it would mean a huge cluster for JFK as well.
Skywest Inc knows better than to waste their money on over water certification in hopes that someone will give them a flying contract for those ops. It could be plenty of things, diversification of feed, restructuring of regional operators and airplanes in hubs, etc. Until it's in print and the airplanes are doing the operations everything is just a rumor.
On a serious note, why do you take everything with eagle so personally? Every ASA thread that has even mentioned American flying you've jumped into with some level of butt hurt.
