Pure speculation. AE and Comair are under very deffrent circumstances. OH's fleet was replaced by bigger airplanes from other feeders. AMR doesnt have that option unless APA give on scope. Could happen .... but I doubt it.

Considering Delta is maxed out on anything over 50 seats, our fleet is not being replaced by bigger airplanes, it is just going away. It could very well happen to AE.

Yeah but they have enough 70 and bigger seat aircraft to replace them. AMR only has 47, 70 seaters. But like you said, it could happen. But I wouldn't make a career decision on which airline I'm going to go to based on speculation.

In a strange twist of fate (life is funny sometimes) I have ended up with an offer for a class date on October 11th for American Eagle AND Atlantic Southeast Airlines.
With American Eagle, I would be flying the CRJ 700 out of LGA. I would have to commute, but for the time being, I would probably have a line out of training because they are so understaffed on the aircraft. This could, of course, change, and I would end up commuting to LGA for reserve if it does.
With ASA, I will be Atlanta based, and I live in Atlanta. I will probably end up with the CRJ 200, and would definately be on reserve. No commuting, no crash pad. ASA is $2/hr. less for year 1, but $1/hr. more for year 2.
Both airlines have a relatively long history, and appear to be a good place to be.
The question is this, which would you take, and why? No bashing here, please. There are plenty of other places you can do that.
