We sucked up a 16 year contract to be able to unify all the eagles in to one pilot group. We should not be willing to give up the 16 years of sacrafice for the price of 22 shiny new jets. All connection should stay in STL. If this goes through forget any leverage we have in the 2013 contract negotiations.

Why is nobody griping about Eagle flying more larger aircraft and a FIRST CLASS SECTION?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Where is the outrage about mainline flying being stolen by Eagle? Doesn't this seem somewhat hypocritical?

Just seems odd. I don't know what provisions are in the CHQ contract. AMR signed a deal for X amount of block hours. Since CHQ has been flying STL since the TWA times those routes were CHQ(if we dare act like we own routes) yet those are being closed. So X amount of block hours has to come from somewhere. Does EGLs contract list STL specifically or is it other TWA bases?
It wasn't the contract but an arbitrators ruling that limited TSA/CHQ/Corp Air to STL.

To the Eagle guys: When did Tony get elected and Herb got out of office? It's nice to see Herb get out of his ivory tower and fly from the right seat and witness what his crappy leadership brought out.

The difference is AMR, Inc. OWNS Eagle and thats a BIG difference. The 22 extra CRJ's (which truly were a mainline replacement aircraft at Eagle for the F100) still result in a net decrease of aircraft for Eagle due to the turboprops being parked.

A news article I read today said that Eagle would get additional routes out of STL. Eagle is also already flying places that were once operated by CHQ out of STL. So is this contract violation based on net hours of gain/loss of flying or is it based on which routes are flown by who? Why are they saying this is an outsourcing of additional flying. Does anyone know if CHQ is seeing any additional block hours? We were at 14 aircraft and are now down to 12 as of this year. The flying is for those 12 aircraft out of ORD. Why is that a contract violation? Just curious I'm based in STL and would rather it not be closed for us myself though that doesn't seem like it's going to happen.
