Never say "never".
It's very possible these aircraft may come to Eagle, but it would require the financing geegee be found. The other aircraft (with the exception of a replacement plane for plane of the ATR's) will require the AA scope conundrum be solved and that will take another 1-2 years. If at least 15% financing can be found, these 22 70-seaters would be valuable, but more then likely they'd be replacements for the remainder of the E-135's and perhaps some 140's, so it's very likely that Eagle wouldn't see any growth because of it (or very little).
I think AMR is more concerned with making their feeder system more effecient and competitive which makes it more profitable, then expanding its overall size.
