I'll be the first to say this is of course strictly rumor, no real source but....

With the USA/AA merger most likely being announced on Tuesday. Lets toss around the idea of the new company deciding to merge PSA and Eagle.

Eagle is obviously short staffed and not finding enough pilots to cover its want of 500 pilots this year. It just so happens that PSA has just over 500 pilots. I don't see any furloughs being needed at all. With people flowing to the new AA (either by the all ready in place flow agreements or a new one) they could even continue with the plan of parking 50 seat jets without the need to furlough anyone.

This may sound crazy but i feel like there has to be at lest one merger between the wholly owned regionals of the soon to be new AA.
