I wish that is how it works, but see it would be a logistics nightmare for taking company, (where do we fall on list, pay yr, etc. remember we can't tell another company what to do, Contracts) And AMR knows this, this why they are in the process of taking all A/C off of Eagles hands and placing AMR as the only person on the lease(currently, Leasor: Eagle, cosigned by AMR) once all on AMR, then eagle is just flying AMR A/C without an agreement for flying hours ETC. AMR can then award those aircraft to lowest bidder and Eagle will be out some more Aircraft. Thats if were kept wholly owned. If diversified then yes they'll sign a 5 yr agreement for flying at the 5 yr point then they'll piece out the aircraft. So its either be kept wholly owned and have a horrible contract forced on us and still lose some flying or be diversified and start the process in 5 years. But people will not transfer with aircraft
