I heard AMR is in talks with Lynx. Rumor has it that Eagle's ATR's are pretty long in the tooth, and a turn key Q400 fleet gives AMR a fresh fleet update. APA supposedly has not objected to this on an airframe for airframe swap. And, Lynx pilots stay with the aircraft. It will be operated on a capacity purchase agreement with republic. AMR gets a turn key -staffed- fleet to grow up to the number of ATR's on the property!
Don't shoot the messenger!!!
