Last time I looked at Section 1 of the Delta contract it allowed a minimum of 450 DCI aircraft...and when we hire 35% of mainline new hires have to come from ALPA DCI. Oh, furloughed ALPA pilots have priority rights....

The company has said many times before bankruptcy that they want to diversify the feed. I really don't think you younger eagle pilots know how bad the MEC boned you. You all would have gone with the planes and only eagle pilots would be able to fly the crjs "the only plane that AA wants." Right now the company is a pilot list with no aircraft. 90%+ of the planes being flown are unprofitable 50 seaters that are about to time out. The new TA which you all will vote for has no job protection or future. I can think of 3 other regionals that have orders for aircraft that AA managment wants. Hopefully you guys wake up and vote no for that new TA.

Delta would have done the same thing with Comair if it could have, but an airline with predominately 50 seater's doesn't have a ton of buyers.

Jerry has gone on the record saying he is done buying other regionals. Contracts, airplanes, etc are all he or the board seems to have a taste for anymore.

So, when is that going to be 100% sans military pilots?

if a big enough contract comes with Eagle, I think anyone could bite. Dont assume Eagle is the next Comair. It could be the next Mesaba, Compass, Expressjet. Or it could be the next PSA/PDT. Also as recruiting gets harder, I could see those with solid flow through options as the only place that can hire.
