Correct me if I'm wrong but Eagle was told if they take concessions during the bankruptcy, which they did, that they would get the new RJs. It wasn't contractual but I'm sure an Eagle guy can post some evidence for this argument. I've heard it from a few different Eagle guys. I may be wrong on that, however.
I do know that after the bankruptcy, they were offered their awful B Scale contract to get those planes on property. After their MECs stood up for the pilot group and didn't take the pay cut, another airline (PSA) said we have no self respect and don't mind taking those planes that would have otherwise been at eagle, even if it means taking concessions. That to me is stealing planes from Eagle.
Or any other carrier could have negotiated a contract to fly them. It's not eagles flying it's whoever gets the contract. No regionals steal flying from another regional. They only negotiate with the mainline company. Regionals are in a dog eat dog mentality, sadly.
