I agree, the last sentence was full of sarcasm and generally directed at people who are merely displaced by this verses being sent to the street.

Unfortunately your own management says that you cost more to operate than AE, and AE has been more profitable for the last 12 years. Me thinks skw isnt making much money on this deal.

Not that I care. It is what it is, and the reasons don't really matter. Mgmnt will do whatever they want.

:GOLF CLAP: You still have zero facts as to what rate SKYW offered to AMR and until then your just blowin hot air...And if you don't care I'm sure you'll stop posting now. As for making money part that has become much harder in the regional business lately, which I'm sure a stand alone AE will soon realize.

I respect SkyWest and thier pilots more than any regional out there.
What is your reasoning for that?

This makes sense. A lot of the benefits that AE has enjoyed being under the AMR umbrella may soon be gone and possibly expose a generally inefficient operation.

It will be interesting to see who gets most of the stakes in a divested eagle.

Well since AE guys are so smart and better than everyone else, they will be just fine.

This thread is starting to sound like a bunch of flies arguing over who is at the top on a pile of dung.
