I don’t know what AMR really wants because I am a AE pilot not top management. I do think AE and all the other subsidiary companies that AMR own are used to hide money. AMR is in business to make a profit. If a key part of the business was not making money it would be changed or shut down.
That may be the future of Eagle. But I also don’t think Eagle will get any new airplanes until the APA contract is finished. Why would AMR buy “fast efficient Q400’s” when they can try to get E-190’s out of APA.
I do think AMR, AA, and AE will change when APA is finished with the next contract. It is up to AA pilots (APA) on how that will be done.
Don’t GIVE UP SCOPE!!!
On a second note…
I would love to have an AA AE staple but would also be ecstatic for an AE preferential hiring at AA. That way you would weed out all the eaglefly’s. I shouldn’t be wishing for things on your contract! Good luck guys! Don’t give up scope!
