This could actually benefit AA if they don't have to hire the ex eagle pilots. They don't get employees with perceived. poor attitudes and a chips on their shoulders forced into their ranks.
I didn't realized we were perceived to have poor attitudes. I don't see many chips on shoulders around here either. I have friends at other regionals and we all seem to be about the same. We're all trying to keep our noses clean while we build time and apply to career airlines. I don't know your background but if you don't have any regional time I can see how you'd assume we have poor attitudes, keep in mind though guys have been stuck at the regional level far longer than just "paying dues", we're talking 13-20 years and not by choice for a lot of guys.
I would contend we're just as capable and good natured as anyone else if given the opportunity.
