Default What do think will happen at Eagle?

Just thought it would be interesting to hear what people think will happen to Eagle AMR? A lot of good news has been coming out. Is it trying to pump and dump, or grow, merge?

Pump N Dump. Flowthroughs go to AA, which lowers the average seniority (lower labor cost). Upgrades happen (pilot morale technically should improve). New aircraft deliveries (9 more CRJ700s still to be delivered). Lots of fanfare and press releases about how American Eagle Airlines is growing and prospering.

Then IPO

Then AMR removes the CRJs from Eagle, after sending out RFPs to Skywest, RAH, Mesa etc. Park the ATRs and contract Colgan to fly Q400s on our current prop routes. Get another lowballer to fly their surplus 50seaters in the base of your choice (JFK/LGA, ORD, DFW, LAX).

American Eagle stock tanks, AMR stock jumps. Execs collect bonuses and have a party. When Eagle declares BK they will be purchased by SKYW/RAH/Pinnacle.

That's exactly what AMR would like to do. The only thing preventing it is that nobody is stupid enough to buy AE without some very long-term contract guarantees. If they really want to get rid of them they will have to downsize AE themselves, ala COMAIR. Wouldn't make sense to get rid of airplanes which are on lease/mortgage...have to wait until they expire.

Is an IPO even possible? Since they are owned by AMR are they already publicly traded as AMR?

From Major Airline Forum this site, AA Recall; the follwing is from that thread
""Republic has a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to buy a 50% stake (JV) in AMR Eagle, in exchange for AMR giving a 10 year Capacity Purchase Agreement (CPA) on existing Eagle (MQ) and Midwest (YX) routes.""

I fail to see where APA mentions A320 and E190's that are replacing AE flying which is the same as replacing AA flying. Seems when you have a known dog to kick around just keep kicking the same dog (AE). APA now has West Jet with JB interline agreement with AA. Wait and see how some known AE and AA routes start appearing as West Jet and JetBlue flight. BOS-DCA is JB, BOS-RDU is in NOV JB. APA is short on insight. AA will allow AE to be replaced on routes by JB and West Jet and AE will move aircraft over and replace AA mainline flying. Yeap, keep kicking the little dog.

Oh, I still forcast that AA will have an interline agreement with Frontier in the next three months. GO APA.
