Remember, if AA wants to sell off Eagle, they're going to have to have some pretty good terms to interest any potential investor. No fool would just buy the airline at or near a preimum, without gurantees that AA won't dump them within a couple of years. If you really want to go to AE, this may actually work out to be a really good time. I came to XJT two weeks after the first anouncement on the 69 jets being removed from the CPA. I was concerned, but I'm darn happy I didn't turn back.
Good Luck,
