I agree snipper. It's always a gamble, sometimes I think I'd have better luck playing my odds in Vegas. There's speculation on all sides of the argument.
I'm sending Eagle my application after Jan1. The only reason I'm choosing AE is b/c I live in Dallas, I love it here, and I don't have the flexibility to relocate. For me, living in my domicile and not commuting is worth its weight in gold!
The only thing I'm fairly certain of is that AE has a contract with AA until 2013 (please correct me if I'm wrong). So, there will be flying to do. Sometimes the biggest gambles have the biggest payoff...only time will tell.
Two quotes from wise pilots that mentored me:
1. When it comes to planning your aviation career just remember, Man makes plans, God laughs.
2. "Career? I've never had a flying career, just a series of 'gigs'!"
All the best to you!
