Look for AE to continue to exist. Eventually, it may be samller, but with a larger percentage of 70 + seaters. Likely another carrier will be brought onboard to whipsaw Eagle, but large RJ feed for AA will not change.
What if AMR sold Eagle? Then what?
Also, I'd look for Eagle to start losing 50-seaters (and smaller), due to fuel costs.
