AMR has been saying this on and off for what now... the last 6 years? It has always been an "option" IF they need to do it and if they get what they want for it. 2 big IF's.
So nothing has changed.

So they can make the whipsaw on eagle that much easier :-(

My opinion and hope was to get great/good/better management at Eagle and try to make each route profitable on its own without relying on the connecting pax. Kind of like how Horizon Air is run with Alaska.
The figures I always hear are AA pays 1/2 Million a day to have Eagle feed AA.
The reality is there is no such thing as "great/good/better mangement" available except at SWA.
