Rumor on the street is that american has already worked out a deal to buy these...
And in the mean time fly these to replace some of the 80s....Americans plan is to divest eagle and make it an all ATR's/ERJ fleet...Getting around scope by moving the 700's to AA....Its still just a rumor

Within five years, regionals should return to what they are designed to do - fly fuel efficient turboprops over short distances to add to mainline load factors.

What I dont get with AMR, is they need a solution to this scope stuff, and Eagle. It seems easy to me that both sides just give up a little, and that would be to get 100 seat jets and put them on the AA side with AA pilots, and for each 100 seat, Eagle gets a 70 seat. It seems to be the only win/win, but I guess that might be too logical.

not at all, and SKYW lost money because they purchased other airlines. But I mean seriously, do you think AMR has any plan to put all the crj700 and all new airplanes on AA with AA pilots/FA/MX/Gate Agents ETC, I mean come on seriously? While United/DAL have TONS of CRJ700/900 doing their domestic flying. I am not saying I want it that way, I would love to see all jet flying go mainline, but AMR with their loses is trying to be outsource flying, not bring the CRJ700 to AA.

Just a quick question: Not to put a damper on all the off the street hiring we expect but with no capacity added, and with only trickle retirements wouldn't that make them only a couple hundred pilots short? So theoretically, they may not even make it to the bottom of the list this time around even with only 1 out of 6 coming back. Just wondering if anyone has heard a hard number of how many pilots they need to get on line??

Mistake. 50 +/- was last fall. This spring was 15-25. Training on other fleets appears to be pretty busy so 30-35 might be the short term capacity limit.
In 90 days we'll have perfect 20/20 lookback clarity.
