The October 2012 contract with AMR was the one that had "furlough protection" in lieu of an actual fleet plan. But it was more than suggested that we would be getting the E175s with that new contract to begin replacing our 145s. Then 3 months later AMR strikes a deal with Republic for those same aircraft. Slap in the face and knife in the back.
