Stay strong APA, keep scope, keep your pensions, get your pay back and keep the flying where it is.
Oh yes, it's true some would indeed likely be placed at the "other" carrier, but most of these would go to Eagle. The reason being is that these aircraft make money (or so AMR believes). AMR desires a whipsaw scenario where everyone but them loses and continually lives on their knees, so I'm realistic about a disturbing future for ALL pilots involved with AMR, not just AA pilots.
I just found it surprising that one of their biggest cheerleaders (and notorious Eagle pilot hater) has suddenly and drastically shifted his outlook from optomistic agression to hopeless dismay.
