There is no feed for Eagle to bid on outside AA, and even if there was Eagle is totally uncompetitive (by union admission).

Eagle will eventually evaporate into nothing as all flying is bid out to the low bidders, and the shareholders lose nothing because Eagle is worthless without a CPA or equipment, and AA benefits by whipsawing regionial feed for the forseeable future, just like the olden days

You are assuming that AMR can just take the airplanes and lease them out to somebody else to fly existing Eagle/AMR routes. That is a bad assumption based upon prior arbitrations. Kinda shoots your whole theory to crud doesn't it....

again, this spin-off is less about Eagle, and more about AA scope. It's a means to an end. If they can convince your MEC along the way for more concessions, great... but it isn't the main objective

When possible, will someone be so kind as to post todays class offerings?
Thanks.

If Eagle gets spun off how much value (if any) does the Executive overwater certification bring to the new company.

Would this help Eagle contract with other mainline carriers?

I have been just informed from a reliable inside contact that American Eagle mins will be lowered to 750/75. Official announcement soon.

I heard anywhere from 5/600 with 50 me. I don't trust anything till it's published.

Any reason given as to why thier going lower, or is it obvious?

why only lower TT by 50 hours? That cant be right... maybe 800/75 is more like it.

Unless hiring is slowing down and they need a far smaller number of candidates?

If they were still in full throttle hiring mode, 500-600/50-75 would make more sense.

Looking for April 25 class equipment and bases that people choose?

9 EMJ DFW
3 EMJ MIA
6 CRJ ORD
2 CRJ LGA
2 ATR SJU

Total of 22. Evidently the last 2 choices leftover was the CRJ. Pretty much everyone got what they wanted.

While still a long while a way and a lot can change, what factors influence choose equipment if a base you desire has multiple. For instance, if one base (not sure if this exists) has all 3 birds and you have no personal preference over the machine, what else do you consider? ORD has both CRJ and ERJ and if given the choice, I don't know what would make me choose one over the other.
