Look at the history of Eagle and about 5 (or six) regional affiliates comprised "American Eagle" until the early 90's. I believe that Exec. was the only remaining regional affiliate that wasn't brought into the AMR fold.
This announcement seems to imply that AMR is seeking the arrangement they had prior to the early 90's Eagle merger (sorry I was never there so the details are fuzzy). The airlines were: Simmons, Wings West, Corporate, Executive, and one or two others I don't remember.
What I do recall was whipsawing of pilot groups was the norm. Now with a common fragmentation policy in effect there is the chance to minimize that effect.

Great feedback from the authority!
I will continue to speculate with Executive Airlines. If AMR spins off AE, and AE looks at the books and doesn't want to update the turboprops in MIA/SJU, will AE then sell off Executive?
All this speculation for those that may be considering MIA/SJU for a base and may want to reconsider.
My gratitude for the feedback, and this site!

So what does this mean for the American Connection carriers that are basically leasing airplanes for their operations like TSA and RAH (CHQ)? Weren't they leasing them from Eagle or, perhaps more correctly, AMR? And for their contracts, which I thought were up for renewal in 2011?
