Sweet, delicious irony.

RJ Captains with thousands of hours and no failures are a dime a dozen and doesn't make you more special than anyone else. Eagle is a regional airline just like many others, and its only some of their pilots who think they are "AA" already.
Add another poster's assertion that they've been carrying AA passengers and that eagle brings in financial benefit. What about TSA and CHQ pilots? They flew AA passengers with an excellent record and lower cost to AMR. Since they may have contributed more to AMR's bottom line per passenger shouldn't we be rewarding them with free class spots?
This whole thread reeks of being handed a briefcase full of money and complaining the clasps are too difficult to open for your tastes.
