Eagle for sale, again
 

Another to Republic?!?

2-3 weeks old.

About 2-3 years old, this is nothing new. Every few years American puts them "up for sale" but never seems to find a buyer.

Old? It's dated today :eek:

I realize it's not the first time hense why the title says "again".

In typical AA reactionary manner DAL sells it's regionals and next day AA is thinking about it, again.

Ahh yeah. you need to catch up man. this was released about 3 weeks ago now. More like Delta was reactionary but they actually pulled the trigger.

There is one seniority list I would not want to merge with...what is the average years of service?

AMR's Eagle Options to Include LBO, Private Equity, Garton Says

AMR Corp. will include private equity and a leveraged buyout among options under consideration for its American Eagle regional airline, Eagle Chief Executive Officer Dan Garton said. Garton has just begun evaluating possibilities for Eagle's future, including leaving it as a wholly owned unit of AMR, the parent of American Airlines. AMR said June 10 it would evaluate the possible divestiture of Eagle, 23 months after taking it off the market. An outright sale, spinoff to AMR shareholders or public offering also are among options being studied, Garton said today in an interview. "We really haven't focused in on any one of those as the right way to go about this," he said. AMR wants to "make sure we don't go blindly down some path. There have been examples of other spinoffs which were done for some sort of a momentary burst. That is not AMR's interest." Garton, who has retained his title as American's executive vice president for marketing, said he would be willing to lead an employee-involved buyout if that "ends up looking like the best solution."

Average? dont know. but basically you have SUPER SENIOR and Not So SENIOR. The middle is very small. looks like the latest Capt bid went to a 2001 hire(Flow back). about 19 more numbers before it jumps to a 2004 DOH.
