I heard the new catch phrase is 90-90-90 but am sure this is just a slogan. Pay would be equal to or higher than current CRJ-700 rates with a major focus on bringing FO pay up to 60% CA pay. Due to the extra costs inherent in APA's contract plus the costs of other employee groups, Eagle pilots could be paid exactly what APA's F100 pilots were paid and it'd still be cheaper to fly it at Eagle than AA.

In order for AA to remain competitive in an ever tightening market, they need to close that huge gap between 50 seat Embraers jets and 130 seat S80s. Twenty-five CRJ's doesn't do it.
