i would be shocked if anyone could would by eagle. who would want the most expensive regional airline out there. The only bennifit would be the executive side. the certificate itself is worth almost a billion dollars from what i heard in training. that rumor of branson buying executive and turning it into virgin carribean might just be true now!

AMR talked about selling Executive and keeping Eagle prior to this. Let's face it, between AA and Eagle, AMR owns the Caribbean. Supposedly when they were shopping Executive, they didn't like the buyer (rumor was Delta). If another domestic carrier buys Executive, they will be the dominant carrier to the islands.

the executive certificate is actually worth more than the eagle certificate because it allows the operator to fly in the entire western hemisphere which makes it quite valuable. In the past the certificate was used as a barganing chip against apa on some scope and other issues.

When and where? I'd like to see anything backing this up. Why are the 140's hunks of junk? Most people that fly them with the Univerals and the sunshades in the cockpit seem to prefer them over the 145s.

If they sign a long term deal with AA, nothing changes and they'd still be hamstrung by scope. I don't see any buyers except AMR shareholders. What a waste that would be.
