It could happen again, trust me. The more AMR Eagle grows, the less markets/flights AA has and the smaller the number of mainline jet jobs for aspiring pilots to apply for. It could even result in furloughs.
Amen brother. They came in and took it and now have locked us out with no desire to absorb us. The longer they can delay, the more jobs are filled by RAH and F9 crews while the Midex pilots sit at home and type on computers in forums like this. Think about that next time they want your scope. Management now has a tool, code sharing, they can use to manipulate contracts. We lost our jobs because of it. You Eagle guys can say what you want but not one RAH pilot has stood up and said, "What about the guys we replaced?"
