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
Gotta disagree (BTW, I could barely read many parts of that post...it was a grammatical nightmare). To say with certainty that no pilots will transfer with aircraft is extremely presumptuous at this stage (unless of course, you are deliberately trying to instill fear).
The fact is, the current Eagle is spending huge sums of money hiring and training pilots and cannot transfer one or two aircraft/month to another carrier as it would take a couple of years to complete any reasonable transfer number. In order for any whipsaw scenario to be effective, Eagle will have to transfer several dozen (at minimum), so either another carrier will have to have perhaps 500 EMB pilots sitting around being paid and flying nothing and be over staffed by that hideous percentage or they'll have to come already qualified with the aircraft. The Eagle CBA already has successorship language ensuring an orderly process of integration with those pilots that tansfer (apparently you must be unaware of this).
Should Eagle just transfer the planes and lay off those pilots, it would take most carriers a year of hiring and training to get the whole fleet up and running with the planes parked and the former customers signing up for frequent flyer miles with the competition never to return. Interesting to note AMR is supposedly only interested in transferring the EMB's and not the CRJ's, eh ?
You sound fresh and new to Eagle (if you're at Eagle at all) and that's cool, but I think you need to think this through a bit more.
