couldnt be more wrong. that plane was back in service the next day, and you will be getting it back. just flew it two days ago as a matter of fact. there was barely any damage to begin with, some paint scraped. might wanna check your sources. i love how misinformation spreads like an std.

No, that's one is true.... The Eagle 145 all have the gross weight mods, the TSA planes do not... It was in one of the company bulletins. .....and that is alot of work.

i can't comment on that, cuz I don't know eagle's "standards." i can tell you I'm no fan of tsa mx though. defer, defer, defer. with that being said, i have never felt unsafe in any airplane i've flown. just annoyed when sh!t doesn't work. and none of ours are as bad as when we got the two from mesa. i opened up the logcan when i flew one of those for the first time and there were DMI stickers inside and OUT. as far as they extent of work they'll have to do, i don't really know.

Bingo we have a winning post!!! Where you on EL Flyby1206? Seems like I remember your callsign on EL? If AMR buys 190 PRAY that the APA flies them (no offense to Eagle) so that a decent pay scale is paid (F100 rates) & legitimate work rules are in place. AMR is going to kill Eagle with the 2013 contract & farm out the flying to Chillytaco & the other "american connections" of the industry.

i agree that eagle getting bigger a/c anytime soon isn't likely...i like hearing everyone's opinion though..
i think as long as eagle operates under AMR and has to worry about APA than it's going to be tough...from talking to someone today they said that APA just filed an injunction after us getting options for more CRJs. i think that whatever happens in/after 2012 with the contract etc. will really spell the future for eagle equipment...i guess at this point it is really a matter of asking what will happen if eagle gets sold after 2012 or doesn't? ...i dunno it's always something interesting to think about...

APA also has stuff filed against AMR for the 7000 pilot deal they had. I don't know the exact details, but if AA fell below 7000 original pilots, AMR agreed to stop using Eagle as feed. APA says the number has been reached, AMR says no. Now its getting legal action. It was a stupid thing to agree to. AA without Eagle as feed would be 00. Zero Zero. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch.
Anyhow, I don't know the exact details of that agreement, but I'm certain someone will come along to correct my deficiencies regarding that!
We'll be lucky to get Beech 1900s with 5 seats removed with the high view APA takes of us!

guys, im a little confused. and i haven't read EVERY thread, so please don't chastise me if i've interpreted incorrectly. but why do "we" (being regional pilots) want bigger airplanes at this level? wouldn't we want them at mainline? and why is apa taking legal action against aa a bad thing?
