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.
Right, they were their routes for decades. Good for them. Maybe if AMR wasn't so cheap they wouldn't have been given to the next lowest bidder.
This whole problem starts and ends with mainline. Regional guys getting mad at each other for the decisions made by people they have no control over is laughable. Stop blaming other regional pilots for this, no one wants to be at a regional in their current form. We all want to be at the next level be it a major, or a regional that can pay a decent wage.
Fight for your worth, mainline needs to cough up the extra dough to fill RJ seats. Flow/preferential interview is crap. I have bills NOW. And that garbage RAH LBFO ain't going to pay them.
