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.
Be VERY careful phrog.
I've learned this forum is primarily a mainline pilots forum when scope is the subject and if you make any comments in favor of these aircraft for your carrier, you'll be targeted and will end up in a bash fest. Many of these pilots expect you to either shut up about it, or capitulate to their way of thinking. It appears there is no middle ground or room for difference of opinion.
