That is the point I was making earlier. AA can't make any aircraft purchases while still in bankruptcy. Republic offered up their own coin while Xjet already had the crj-200s baking in the desert.
AA's plan for L-Eagle (yes there is one) involves an in-house purchase which can't be done until after bankruptcy.
Well, we will be out of BK starting monday. They may have a plan for L-Eagle but you know they are not going to give us anything without a few more attempts to squeeze something out of us. What I fear is, they know for the most part Eagle will not accept concessions for airplanes - the last 60 airplane for B-Scale proved that. However, they found they can shot the airplanes to other carriers who are weaker and will accept them.
