AMR/American Eagle could acquire additional ATR's and do the same sell/lease back they did with the current ATR's. A very common transaction done for various reasons. Flying ERJs DFW to ACT only makes sense because there are not enough ATR's in DFW to fly that route. Same goes for DFW to GGG and DFW to TYR
