Sorry but the media is only speculating at this point. So far those 119. Pilots will only be displaced.

Why were they even at a job fair two weeks ago if they were suspending training and hiring? Airlines will never be challenged for title of worst run industry.

the ATR's are that expensive and inefficient that they have to go first? I guess they will be the easiest to dump back to the leasing company but you would think some 145's would go first. its going to be a big mess over there.

Prior to any CRJs, the EMB145s will be the last thing to be parked. After the ATRs, we'll lose EMB135s, then EMB140s. Then they'll give the EMB145s to another company to fly them for cheaper.

American Eagle to Lay Off 223 Pilots, Flight Attendants

The effects of American Airlines’ bankruptcy are starting to unfold…
American Eagle (part of American Airlines and AMR) has told the Texas Workforce Commission that 119 pilots and 104 flight attendants are ‘likely’ to be laid off of their jobs by mid-February.

119 pilots + 104 flight attendants = 223 jobs lost. Misleading title if you only skim it.

At least they get a townhouse out of it. AA paid 195 Million for 30 year naming rights to the AmericanAirlines Center in Dallas.

If I were CEO and someone proposed spending close to a fifth of a billion on naming an arena, I'd kick their ass all the way to the unemployment line.

Thread hijack...sorry. Is the EMB-135, 140, 145 all one qual with some sort of differences training?

Back to the topic...sorry to hear about more furloughs.

Not sure how much they paid for the naming rights of the American Airlines Arena in Miami either.
