A CA I know who lives in PHX prefers PHX-ORD vs PHX-DFW....a lot of AA'ers commute from PHX. There are more flights from PHX-DFW via AA and US Air...than PHX-ORD, but I heard there is less competition for non revs on the PHX-ORD route.

Incidentally, "company op-specs" have zip, zero, zilch to do with when one can log SIC time in an aircraft. Neither do insurance requirements. It's all about the type of operations (135 charter, etc.) and what the aircraft was certified for in the AFM.
Sorry for the rant, that is my hot button.

I spoke with the hiring manager himself, N.A. just last week. He told me they are projecting to hire the 600 or so by November because December is a traditionally very slow month for hiring, interviews, etc...
Beyond November and into 2012 I'm sure is too early to know at this point. If the divestiture has been agreed on by that point, and Eagle decideds to spring for regional jets with more than 70 seats hiring will continue.
BTW: I have heard from various sources at the top (including the President of the company) that Republic is the main competition target following a divestiture. So the possibility of E-Jets flying for Eagle-or whatever we will be called after divestiture happens- is not a distant reality.

Who cares what DG has to say.
1)If we stay own by AMR we can't get anymore 70+ seat jets.
2)If we are not own by AMR but fly for AMR we can't fly anything bigger then 50 seat jets.
Either way I wouldn't count on E-jets or more 700/900s anytime soon.

Not if they spin both certificates and compile all AA flying on one of them, then use the other for larger airplanes under different codes.
Personally, I don't think that will happen and that we'll eventually be up a creek on our own, bwthdik?

The goal is to spin off and pick up contract flying from other airlines, not just AA. We would also be released from our 70 seat scope...that is the whole point. If we are not owned by AMR anymore than we are not limited in any kind of scope clause, even if they do hire us to do their flying. BTW: Republic does flying for AMR as well under the American Connection brand in case you didn't know.
What part of that is so difficult to understand? If you think Eagle is going to target Republic by flying 50 and 70 seat jets for the next 20 years you are the one who is dreaming.

to get around scope the new eagle will need a holding corporation and two certificates. Simmons and Executive certificates or they can give eagle the TWA certificate as a bonus. Simmons does the feed for AA with the 50 seater's and via interline agreement executive can use larger aircraft 70 seater's for AA,. Then codeshare with all oneworld members for all USA domestic, Canada. Caribbean, Mexico connections/feed.
Now AA can park the S80. AA still has the domestic coverage via oneworld codeshare in reverse. Since open skies exists from every major country, the oneworld partners will list the flights under there ID and codeshare with the executive certificate for all through flights into and out of the USA.
