One of the mechanics mentioned a Colgan Q400 was parked in the AA hangar a few weeks back for the execs to look at, he mentioned maybe Colgan would take over the turbo-prop feed for Eagle out of DFW. Normally I wouldn't read too much into the rumor mill but with the recent WARN letters for all ATR pilots in DFW comes the realization that this man may be right.
Has anyone else heard anything about this?

AMR kept claiming that "other" carriers could repace our flying and some had already expressed interest. This was misleading.
In reality, there was/is nobody who could replace our flying on the jet side. But, our prop flying is repalceable. By who, I never found out but pretty much guessed Colgan and/or Commutair. This could be what they are looking in to.

Scope may be going out the window, but that hasn't happened yet. Until it does, Colgan or anyone else won't be flying Q400s for AA. How many Q400s and qualified pilots does Colgan have lying around by the way?

I don't even think colgan or commutair can find enough pilots for what they have now. I've heard attrition is high at commutair as well.
