Absolutely. Just business. The problem is for us Eagle drivers that we can't predict our very near future. Pretty frustrating and very stressful for some of us. The really crappy thing about the entire deal is that even if AMR just spun us off and liquidated the company, it would just be business. But it would be unprecedented in the regional airline industry to just close an entire airline without it going through bankruptcy. Well, some company has to set precedent I guess.
Liquidations is the inference I get from AMR keeping the planes after spinning us off. And the five year travel benefit sounds like a severance package. I hope I'm wrong.
