Parking the SAAB's, selling the 135's back to EMB for Legacy Conversion, and accepting new deliveries on E-jets would make Eagle much more attractive to potential buyers.... don't you think? AMR does not do things with short term gains in mind. Everything is at least on a five years plan, if not more.
Look for them to finish parking SAAB's, trade the 135's, buy E-jets, sell Eagle, they already sold American Beacon, and they will continue to divest ALL assets until the only AMR holding is AA. They will then run it into Bankruptcy, to force concessions and restructuring on ALL unions. Then they will excercise "options" they retained during all sales, and buy back what they want, and walk away from what they don't want.
