AMR "very close to divesting Eagle"
 

AMR Board May Be Near Decision on Eagle Sale, Union Says - Bloomberg


Skywest?

ooooh! im so scared! ;)

Oh crap. That's exactly what we need...not.

I feel sorry for the company that buys Eagle..haha

What is to stop one major carrier from buying a wholey owned of another major carrier and disolving that flying to financially hurt their business and offer gains to their own company?

The purchase would have to be mutually agreed upon, and there would be a contract guaranteeing a certain amount of flying typically, as well as certain escape clauses.

I think that would be like cutting off your nose to spite the face. I believe anyone making a purchase of Eagle would want a return on that investment. That would require Eagle continuing to fly...for American, or whoever.

Republic. All signs point to Bedford.

Well that didn't take long!

Honestly, does anybody see AMR just selling Eagle to anybody? The Eagle brand is too closely associated with Ameican and everybody knows that including AMR.

As such they would be very cautious about letting it become just another Colgan or Mesa.

Then again nothing would suprise me at this point.
