Let's say that AMR can get 50% Of the current eagle captains moved to AA, how much do you think that would save them. Consider this that would be on average replacing a 12 yr captain with a 4 year captain. I think 1/2 of Eagle captains today will take a job at AA. Then the Captains that want to stY have to decide between what the company is telling they will do to Eagle and starting over. We know the company will make try allthe can to make the choice for them. And give it sometime, wait untill it's time for them to make a decision. Some will ride it out, but I say most of our captains will move on!

Wow... There is a certain person in this forum who would do everybody a favor by leaving Eagle as quickly as possible. Maybe take up gardening or some other endevour to sooth his nerves.

He must be a peach to go on a 4 day with....

Do you think senior guys will sell out junior guys again?

If big D does another Fee for Departure set of contracts then AMR will probably try to do the same.

But taking planes from Eagle and having some other form of contract where the regional is responsible for fuel, well that could be a game changer industry wide.

BTW: how's Chicago treating you? What kind of trips are you able to hold now?

No, It will be a mixture of those who cannot understand contract language. There are many loop holes in the agreement to go to AA as preferred hiring to where many will not be able to go. This is just to place a carrot out there for those to vote yes on concessionary contract which will be coming out by the begining of September. Being that that the MEC at Eagle has been in unofficial negotiations for the last nine months with management. You know secret.

Sorry, but the agreement to go to AA is a done deal. It makes no difference if we agree to any concessions or not. It also makes no difference if Eagle is divested or not. That agreement is a grievance settlement, not a carrot. The only thing that will nullify the agreement is a complete liquidation of Eagle.
