1)If we stay own by AMR we can't get anymore 70+ seat jets.
2)If we are not own by AMR but fly for AMR we can't fly anything bigger then 50 seat jets.
Either way I wouldn't count on E-jets or more 700/900s anytime soon.
You didn't hear what he and others had to say, so you have no clue.
The goal is to spin off and pick up contract flying from other airlines, not just AA. We would also be released from our 70 seat scope...that is the whole point. If we are not owned by AMR anymore than we are not limited in any kind of scope clause, even if they do hire us to do their flying. BTW: Republic does flying for AMR as well under the American Connection brand in case you didn't know.
What part of that is so difficult to understand? If you think Eagle is going to target Republic by flying 50 and 70 seat jets for the next 20 years you are the one who is dreaming.
