The right thing was done.
Why do you say it will be the end of Eagle?
We have cost comparable to RAH, our biggest competitor today. We cost less than SKW inc, another competitor but we cost more than Pinnacle whom AMR can't contract with. In 2016 AMR will get an adjustment that will ensure they are getting feed at prices of the two lowest regionals with comparable size. A B scale for new hires is not going to decide whether they will re fleet eagle. Companies willing to assume all liability, acquire the airframes, allow for multiple exit and adjustment clauses and willingness to underbid everyone else is what will decide this factor. AMR is currently spending a significant amount of money on new hires. The B Scale was about driving the whole industry down and putting you under such scale between now and 2016.
I don't think this will influence them one bit.
