The figures I always hear are AA pays 1/2 Million a day to have Eagle feed AA.
The reality is there is no such thing as "great/good/better mangement" available except at SWA.
American Eagle has existed now for twenty years and has never had "great/good/better" management. It has been a stepchild of American from the beginning, and a place of exile for mediocre to downright execrable management throughout its history.
You're right. The excellent management people are at other carriers or in other industries.
