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.

What is so appealing about major airlines spinning off their regionals (CAL & XJT, DAL & CMR, AA & Eagle, NWA & Mesaba/Compass...). Do they really need the cash that badly?? Why else do they want to do this?

Nothing huh? Please provide a link to when AMR said "we are going to divest Eagle" in the past. THere may have been rumors, but this is fact. Sure it may fall through, but their intentions are now known.

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.

You can do the search yourself. There have been plenty of news articles written where managment has been quoted along the lines of "we are considering spinning off Eagle in the near future". Infact if you search these forums, you can find threads on this same topic from published news articles, not hear-say or rumors.
