Are you crazy dude?! 14% of your fleet consists of 37 seat RJs, 21% of your fleet consists of 44 seat RJs, and 42% of your fleet consists of 50 seat RJs! In total, 77% of your fleet consists of RJs with 50 OR less seats. You're insane to think ANY major/legacy carrier wants 37 or 44 seat RJs. The 50 seat RJ market is already saturated and heading for the desert, I don't know what you're smoking to think your 37 and 44 seat RJs can offer to other carriers.

once spun off, and with the recent DOT authorization for anywhere there are open skies agreements; Eagle already is a member of the one world alliance...
...order larger E190 or C-series and operate them on the code share and stand alones...
With the larger C-series or E190's they could even interline with AA for their same routes they do now... just like AA did with jetBlue.

When Britney Spears dumped Kevin Federline, he probably thought he could go out and nail other rich, beautiful, sleezy superstars.

I would not get too excited over the AA number. You're more likely to be furloughed at Eagle now. The math doesn't add up with 40 and 50 seat RJs. It did up till now because American had to subsidize them. Now it looks like that will come to an end.

Especially since a big part of that 460 plane order was for 260 airbus, with 124 seat Airbus 319's one of the three Airbus models being purchased.

AA subsidized the small jets because they added "feed" to the mainline. If the divested AE has to stand on its own and bid, at a profitable price, with 37 to 50 seat RJs they might be "underwater" pretty quickly. It's hard to make money on small jets if you are not getting a premium price. AA is not divesting AE to increase their costs--TAKE THAT TO THE BANK.
Take the AE offer? Up to you, but this business can change on a dime.

I'm sorry to use you as an example but it's post like this that floor me. Why would you ask people on an anonymous board whether or not you should take a job?! Do you have another job lined up? Are you at a better place than Eagle now? If you answered no to either of these questions then you are not ready to work for the airlines. In this industry you need to make your own decisions and not from a webboard.
