This bickering over whose flying/airplanes go to who... Sheesh.
Yup, AA gave all those DFW-TYR or ORD-MKE routes from the DC3 to Eagle. That should be a 777 route!
Not all routes were "mainline" routes. Eagle has, and likely will, be used to establish routes that AA never flew. Though, since all Eagle branded flying is on behalf of the brand of AA, it could also be argued that all of this flying is still AA flying.
I do think those claiming "our routes" do have a valid claim of disdain though, since they had been "their routes" for decades.
