They don't lose their slot true, but AA's release said they were doing 50 a month til summer which leads me to believe they'll hire to staff summer then stop til the following year which would most likely give them class sizes large enough to meter Eagle guys. Only time will tell but mathematically it looks like it'll be awhile for the 824 to be gone.
Eagle is shrinking and there are not plane orders for us.

I bet they want to get as much people making 80k + to the 40k first year pay. People is saying yes like crazy in our 824 website.

Management already said also that we will be parking some E-140 next year. Why furlough pilots if you can keep the JR guy with our crappy salary and get rid of the expensive captain?
