I'd expect the Eagle flying to end up at 100 or so jets. The current CRJ's plus another 50 EMB190 as per the original plan, but wouldn't be surprised to see the c-series instead of the 190. It wasn't an option in 2008, but us a good one now.
The other part of the presentation had to do with consolidating Eagle into a regional/domestic division of AA and eliminating Eagle as separate entity all together. Keeping current work rules and wages as the subdivision preserves cost effectiveness, while simultaneously allowing them to shed the majority of the duplicated cost structures.
Will not be surprised to see both happen much quicker through the BK process. Hopefully, the pull of new pilots to AA mainline will match the drawdown at Eagle and avoid Furloughs.
The Eagle flow thru's should also expect to come over much sooner as many of the TWA recalls are likely to defer while AA is in BK.

It also happens to match an internal business plan power presentation to the BoD back in 2008-2009. Everything else in that presentation has come to fruition.

Not if AA merges with USAir. The Flowthru, the 824's etc. are dead.

AMR went early so they would not require DIP financing and so they would not be forced into a merger they don't want. Buying that diseased thing called USAir is not something they are interested in. Buying blue would be far more likely.

I was there too...I didn't make it to the presentation about Eagle. What did they tell everyone during it?
