Odds are it will be private firm that buys Eagle, maybe an investment company.
It has been said publicly several times from the company and union that nobody is interested in purchasing us (other airlines or private equity) and the most likely path of divestiture would be to spin eagle off to existing AMR shareholders.
Ex: every AMR shareholder would get 1 share of Eagle company stock for every 3 shares of AMR they currently own.
