These silly rumors do nothing more than cause unnecessary division between pilot groups.
I am not part of the American group so I don’t hear of those rumors, and quite frankly I don’t care. It doesn’t affect me. I have heard rumors regarding the ASA side of ExpressJet for a while before it was officially announced, as did I regarding Comair. Closer to home I kept hearing about Pinnacle acquiring Mesaba, and thought, what a bunch of horse $h!t. If it serves you better to look at it as purely a divisive means and nothing more, then have at it. But Delta has said publicly on more than on occasion that it plans to reduce their regional feed down to three. Now American has mentioned plans for a reduction as well. To me that sounds like it deserves more than a rumor tag. And prospective new pilots should do their homework
