You do understand the ATRs are over 50 seats and are the largest aircraft on Eagles fleet with the lowest cost! Yea thing look ****ty right now but back off because none of us know what is going to happen, we can almost see the writing onthe wall but who knows!!!

Not sure if you're referring to me as bitter. No reason for me to be. I'm just being realistic. I've been around long enough, through bankruptcy, and furlough to understand all possibilities. Just when you think its going to go one way it goes the other. To me, the glass is both half full and empty. There's super kool aid at every carrier and many drink from it. If you don't think outside the box in this business it'll bite you in the a$$. Thanks for the life advice. I'm pretty sure I'm happy with the way I'm living.

I can't say where I got this because it will be easy for that person to get in trouble but.
I received a text this morning.
JetBlue is moving in to DFW. Alll ATR will be grounded. Basically do away with EX. All employees will have a choice to move to AE or lose job. Grounding all 135s

Isn't it just as possible AA is playing hardball with this announcement and is hoping it gets concessions? A month ago, Eagle was projecting 500 new hires in 2012. I don't see how a bankruptcy everyone knew was coming changes things completely. Eagle may end up smaller, but there is some reason to believe hiring will have to resume because retirements are coming in 2012 thanks to the age 65 rule. Crucify me for being slightly optimistic, but this news doesn't fit with what we're seeing in an economy that is growing, even if it is at a small rate.
