Why come back and ask again. If the simple truth was vote for this or else, there are no better deals were to hold true, there would not be this discussion over a vote. Does Parker/AAG have a love for Eagle? History doesn't show this to be true so why keep pressing the Eagle pilots for a contract? Why not stick to your word/statement that they would become the next Comair.
How long can things be drawn out before a decision has to be made. Aren't the E175 coming soon?
At this point I'm not sure there are many who think they will shut us down. The evidence points to a smaller airline for sure, but with the economic climate and lack of qualified applicants I don't believe anyone is in danger of being shut down.
The 175s are supposed to come online at the beginning of next year, I would assume AAG wants some clarity soon. Whether Eagle flies them or they attempt to staff them elsewhere.
