So maybe AE cert continues flying all the EMJ's with a CPA but the Executive cert is used to code-share the CRJ's, ATR's, and they would also be free to expand their fleet as they please.
AMR has an interline agreement with Jet Blue, not a code share. BIG difference, and not as lucrative as a codeshare. Any code share agreement has to be approved by APA so Eagle isn't going to be flying large jets under codeshare for AA anytime soon.
AMR would have spun off Eagle a long time ago if they could have used it as a profitable work around to the APA scope clause.
