A new special would also show airlines like Eagle can't attract anyone but those same pilots. They are now planning to cancel all vacations over the summer and probably into the fall, make 90% of their trips 4-day trips, some with only two days off in between and crack down on sick calls and fatigue calls. After they are sold off, the entire airline will probably collapse leaving American desperate for feed.
Rough days ahead for the country's third largest airline corporation and worse for their regional airline.
