FYI Downsizing SJU by 3 planes. No displacement on the ATR, so excess pilots 20 F/O's, CRJ in DFW downsizing, no displacement 30 F/O's (about), downsizing EMJ in northeast, no displacements- 135 F/O's. Roll the dice or walk away. All these pilots are on the move.

So you guys are downsizing or short on pilots?

moving equipment around and planning for 250 new hires plus 150 for the already CRJ's showing up. Plus you always have about 10 per month leaving for what ever reason.

More like a shift of equipment/staffing at all domiciles, Eagle likes to do this every few years. One of my class mates has been based in this domicile order in his first 2 years, BOS-ORD-DFW-SJU-MIA-DFW. He also moved to each base besides SJU and MIA. Don't be surprised if you get shifted around the first 2 years if hired..

Wel,l MIA ATR is growing, so there should be vacancies on that. MIA EMB base hopefully will be announced in Febuary and will probably go very senior.

AMR will sell off 51% and keep 49% ownership. Fee for departure will change to 'code share' agreement to avoid SCOPE restrictions allowing Eagle to go for E190/195 types. Eagle will fly domestic and American will do long hauls, trans-cons, and international. The chances of selling to another regional (Republic, Skywest, etc.) is virtually zero. The last thing the majors want are 'super regional' carriers that can start dictating prices to them.

The end objective has always been to have Eagle do the vast majority of narrow body domestic flying and leave American with wide bodies only.

Interesting idea, but how will AMR persuade APA and all the other mainline labor groups to sign off on a blanket code share agreement where Eagle will do a large majority of AMR domestic flying?

Not sure of the process involved vis a vis a code share agreement being signed off by labor groups. Eagle is already doing a lot of routes that were previously S80 and 737 routes. ORD-HOU ORD-ELP ORD-SAT LGA-ATL, etc with CRJ700's. More and more Eagle traffic is not actually feeding Amrican, rather point to point pax travel. American is retiring its S-80 fleet as they take on new 737's (800's I think). I would think it will be a somewhat gradual transition. Terminate some fee for departure contracts and replace with code share that just happens to run the same "feed" but under a different scheme.

Ugh!!!! You can't compare FedEx and UPS to American. FedEx and UPS are cargo companies. American is a passenger airline. One of them makes a lot more money, thus their pilots are able to be compensated more.

American pilots should not be making what FedEx and UPS pilots are.
