Boyd's right, the 50 seater is on last leg but this gets AA the feed ASAP vs waiting a while to get larger RJs and they're probably getting the -200's at a steal since DAL is canning them. Like others have said, this is just the start of AA jumping in the RJ game 5-10 years behind everyone else since they're just now hitting bankruptcy
Sucks for the eagle and AA guys cause this has played out at all the other carriers already...

Yep. As the days go on it seems more and more like a cult rather than a company.

SO FAR, this is actually ATR replacement flying. The EMB 140s in LAX are going to MIA and DFW. This is to cover lift lost by the ATR retirement. MIA I know needs planes bad right now, and that is still with ATRs here.

Dear Eagle, welcome to the regional battle that has ensued for many years. Up until now, you have been relatively immune. But the reality is regional airlines do not own any flying. Mainline partners do. And they bid it out to their contractors
Do I feel for the Eagle employees? Yes. I have been in their shoes. I've been furloughed, recalled, then had my airline disappear. Do I feel ill will for the other pilots that got my flying? No of course not

Well apparently mainline doesn't own their flying anymore either because the APA fought hard as hell to keep it. AMR was able to get the judge to abrogate their contract and their scope. APA didn't sell it!
And your baseball analogy is flawed. I liken this cheering more to when you watch a football game and someone on you team take a career ending injury. There will be those who share their deepest sympathies and those who cheered for the great "hit".

Let me guess, when you watch baseball and you see someone from your team hit a home run, you don't cheer, you feel bad for the pitcher whose stats just took a hit.

to the last 3 posts, esp the first one. Dont think this isnt immune to come back around, we might get spun off with our ch11 lower costs, and be bidding on your flying. The goal is stop the this cycle and try and level the playing field both on pay and longevity to prevent it from being so easy by management. Your oh well it will happen mentality is how it continues.
