from what i heard, the reason it's the quickest lease is because they weren't making the payments, so Hulie wants his birds back.

Gonna pick up some at-risk out of STL for AX? I'm sure thats why he wanted to keep the AA relationship open.

I had to ride in a 310 down to HOT at about 11:00 at night the day that USAir went into the drink to pick one of those birds up. Always wondered why most of the planes that went back were the better ones. Ah well, I am on extended vacation (furlough) for now anyway. Would be nice if we got 5 back, I was in the last group to go, so it might bring me back and hopefully some more.

I'm sure Eagle and RAH would appreciate that since STL is their territory.:rolleyes: By the way RAH is still flying E135s out of STL. I thought those were supposed to be inefficient for AMR.

I think that first sentence was sarcastic, but either way, the at-risk stuff does not matter at all to Eagle or CHQ because its additional flying that AMR would not have done anyway.

Do I remember correctly that CHQ's AX contract comes up in Dec? Or is it Dec of next year. I feel like I remember something about December.

Are you thinking of their UAX contract which is up in Dec?

yes, thank you. sorry for any confusion
