I was unaware that Eagle was even allowed anymore 700's, with all the chest-thumping about how APA holds the line on scope. If anything, I hope this brings some furloughed eagle guys/gals (possible former TWA) back to work.

Sorry, man. Just keeping it real.
It's good news, especially for our 71 furloughed and dozens of displaced pilots.This was the number given at previous discussions, but I've heard no word on the final configuration. You are correct about the negative impact on the DFW CRJ pilots. Many of the Captains commute, but most of the FOs do not. Since jet pay is the same for FOs, most, I suspect, will displace to the EMB.

We've always had the option for 50 CRJs, but they only exercised the option on 25. Over the years, management allowed 3 of the options to lapse, as noted in an arbitration, so the total allowed is 47.

I was excited at first when I saw this but then it settled in.
I really hope AA folks don't hold this against the AE pilot group. AMR is definitely acting in its own best interest as usual.
I really am interested to see how they plan on structuring the JFK and MIA flying. Will we see CRJs in the northeast? Will we see more jets in MIA or will it be mainly ATR's? Most important to me is what is going to happen to SJU??

- JFK (+6 new flights): new mainline-MAD/MAN/SJO/AUS, new Eagle-CMH/STL
- MIA (+23 new flights): new Eagle-BHM/CHS/PNS/TYS
No mention of SJU.
While Im at it, here's the whole thing:
Network
- ORD (+57 new flights): new mainline-HNL/ANC/YVR, new Eagle-YYC/ABE/AVP/CRW/DAY/FAR/SUX/JAX/LEX/MDT/RAP
- JFK (+6 new flights): new mainline-MAD/MAN/SJO/AUS, new Eagle-CMH/STL
- LGA (+2 new flights)
- DFW (+17 new flights): new mainline-SAL
- LAX (+2 new flights)
- MIA (+23 new flights): new Eagle-BHM/CHS/PNS/TYS
- STL (-46 flights)
- RDU (-9 flights)
- JFK is now called a "hub" officially
This should get all the eagle guys/gals off the street, no?

Nothing has or could have been expected to happen with regard to AA scope in the short period of time since that statement, so that should tell you something.

Which brings up another thought. 22 CRJs costs about 500 megabucks. That's a lot of money. If AMR really expected scope to change soon and if they really wanted a fleet of E170s, wouldn't they have held off buying the CRJs in order to purchase more E170s?
