Whats the alternative for AE..... To stay status quo with aging 50 seat RJ's and an aging pilot group, which will come up on their life limit anytime soon for both, which might help the upgrade situation.... To shrink and get a whole bunch of ATR 72's, which we're limited in the amount we can get due to scope I believe.... To get sold to the highest bidder that will play nice with AMR management, then get sent to the street as BB has done with the Mid-Ex and Lynx guys... Does APA really believe that a 90-120 seat arcft would come to them when airlines like Republic are getting 130 seat Bombardier arcft. I guess it would be fairly short sighted of them if they did. The writing is on the wall for both AE and AA with CHQ coming to "help" feed AA in ORD. AMR will carry AE's contract neg in 2013 for a long time with the threat of CHQ buoying them up. What does AMR managment do with AE...... What will they do with AE....
