Why would we buy 5 more ATRs when we just sold all of them to a leasing company??? I also doubt we'd be buying old ones, they're looking to modernize the prop fleet if at all possible. So I think that is just the new Kool-Aid rumor floating around.

Think of something professional, constructive and literate to say. The majority of the post on this board are industry related speculation and discussion. I don't post much, only when I have something credible and worthwhile to share. Do you work for American Eagle? AMR? Aerospatiale? ASA? and have information that American Eagle is surely not getting additional aircraft?

AMR/American Eagle could acquire additional ATR's and do the same sell/lease back they did with the current ATR's. A very common transaction done for various reasons. Flying ERJs DFW to ACT only makes sense because there are not enough ATR's in DFW to fly that route. Same goes for DFW to GGG and DFW to TYR

You stated I am not credible. Please provide documentation that what you stated is credible. Otherwise your words are just as worthless as you stated mine are. Quoting what you heard on a forum is the least credible source I can think of....except what the baristas at Starbucks in the airport have to say....they know everything.

I just don't see Eagle buying old ATRs when they were planning on buying new. Selling the current ATRs gives Eagle liquidity and the ability to pursue newer props, modernize the fleet. Because we owned them so long and they were (presumably) paid off, a profit could be realized on them - this would not be the case buying ASA's ATRs.
