the Connection contracts with AA have nothing to do with Eagle. The TSA planes owned by AMR did but that issue has been resolved. The connection flying is what is left over from TWExpress. As of all the current contracts, none of it is "our" flying, its theirs.
My two cents says that this is mgmt's solution to the displacement issues. They have about the right amount of pilots but they still can't figure out where they want them and its getting too costly to keep retraining the bottom of the list until they figure out whats going on. It really sucks for the bottom 75 but I do honestly believe that this is a temporary situation until the dust from the schedule shuffles settles. Good luck to everyone involved in this mess.

Agreed, if they did that I would do that in a heartbeat. Honestly though I would fly anything as long as I had a job at the end of the day. Good luck to everyone.

I know a lot of people will respond with "be lucky to have a job". I am.
But I am thinking it would cost less, or the same, in the end with all the training they're going to have to do now with furlouging 75. If they want to staff the ATR, make it so there is no incentive to go to jet. All FO aircraft the same pay. Anyways...just venting.
