It could also be that ALPA is pressuring AMR for a public fleet plan! History tells us that what you said is likely and I have read the document but it could also be that they are putting pressure on management. Next Thursday in court ALPA, the creditors and management will have to talk to the judge. More light should shine out of this, remember that AMR told the UCC that American Eagle Airlines will provide the majority of the lift under the American Eagle name. ALso another thing to remember is that a CRJ700 is not considered a large RJ and that could be what they plan to replace the ERJs with. I am skeptical as well but we can only work with the information we got, or lack there of.
