Whew, I am really glad I didn't go there now. Without AMR, I am not sure how well Eagle will fare.

Eagle is suffering from massive attrition at the FO level and major understaffing. No one wants to go there due to the non-existant upgrade. I feel that the severe understaffing has driven AMR to get rid of Eagle. Everything they have tried to do to get candidates has failed. So now they see Eagle as a financial liability and want to sell it.

I have a feeling that you will start to see Captain attrition now. These guys that are staying there keeping the upgrade high will get scared and leave. Whoever buys Eagle might not be so understanding when they solve the upgrade problem and high Captian labor costs with furloughs. Lets hope Mesa doesnt get Eagle. I am sure J.O. would love to do something like that.

Sure is sad to see it end this way.
