You sure about that? DAL is still flying DC9's & MD88/90's. Flew them right through $147 oil.

Hmmmm. Maybe, but a JB jumpseater told me JB has 50 E190's on order right now. Not really sure they have a need for your theory/rumor.

And they absolutely lost their shirt on flying them.
150 a barrel oil is coming as it gets harder and harder to find.(BP wasn't drilling in water over a mile deep because its cheap or easy...its because it's getting harder to find oil to meet even todays current demands) The effects on anything that uses oil (such as transportation) will be profound and forever.
We may very well see turboprops make a comeback as they may be the only aircraft that can make money on short, thin markets.

There would be no scope violation for the same reason chq can continue to fly for AMR. Buy Eagle and keep that flying on the Eagle cert. as a subsidiary of RAH and its legal with no scope violation. Now all that said, I don't believe for a second RAH will buy AE.

True. Nobody wants to buy Eagle as a company. It's a dead duck with almost all near-obsolete airplanes and hemmed in by scope. The experiment with small high-CASM jets has come to an end and it's been a failure.
