Yes, but that was prior to AA becoming the apple of US's eye. IF we merge, I'll bet the Express brand is renamed American Eagle. It's a well known name, synonymous with American Airlines. Does that mean all 3 certificates will be combined? I dunno.
I don't think Airways intends to disperse of the wholly owneds all together. Of course I don't know, but I do know...
A) Airways has two of them.
B) There's been no explicit talk of doing away with us from Tempe
C) We've not seen a precipitous drawdown like Comair.

As for if US and AA merge, I can see it all three wholly's merged like pinalcolaba, and aircraft moved to different certs AE-erjs, PSA-crj200/700, pdt-dash/atr.

AMRs reports/indicates negotiations for 250 regional airframes. Scope discussions indicate the elimination of 98 E135/145s. AE currently operates approximately 47 CRJ-700s. Sustainable operators for the 70-88 seat airframes will most likely be SkyWest, RAH, and TSA. What's left of the 50 seat market will most likely be, again, AE, and throwing in a LCC/AMR merger, PSA may have a bite.
That's what my crystal ball is indicating...
Of course that is all speculation!

it will only be smooth if they lube it up for the the PDT/AE/PSA capts with over 25 years of service otherwise its just going to be rough...This is going to hurt, you are not going to enjoy this.
The wholly owneds may not be done away with but most likely is AE and PSA will be the survivors PDT will only be ground handling. PDT has an extremely top heavy seniority list (i.e. in the MDT base there are 38 lines a Captain with 24 years seniority bids 36 of them) as well as very old aircraft with no investment from mainline management to replace them.

I think you should take it just for the sake of experience. If they offer you a job but you feel uncomfortable about the situation, you can always decline the offer. If nothing else, you'll have gotten some experience for future interviews.
