The future hidden from view right now, but it is not going to fluctuate wildly, from one extreem to another. When it does appear it will be (relatively) clear. Eagle is not going away anytime soon. They're not turning off the upgrades soon. They're not dramaticly changing anytime soon, for better or worse.
Well said, I should have stated that differently. I dont think AMR will outsource more flying to anyone. I dont think Eagle will shrink noticeably. I think overall seat capacity of AE will remain the same until we see some contracts being negotiated for AA and AE. Flowbacks are leaving and we do have people retiring, upgrades are dropping slightly maybe to about 4-5yrs.
