AE has been wholly owned by AMR corp and has been in business to support AA. AMR has always considered the idea of contracting out AE's services to feed competing airlines as counterproductive to the core business. Therefore, AE has never really gone out to bid on flying for other airlines. Yes, it has done some insignificant code sharing with a few airlines, but nothing big, by intent.

However, with the likely spinoff, AE will compete as aggressively for major feed contracts as any other carrier out there. I'm SURE that in a few years, the company formerly known as American Eagle, will have multiple feed contracts with different mainline airlines.

Eagle is not going away.... Just moving around alittle.. The real question is what will a USair merger do to Eagle... ???

Vacancy bid coming out today. Essentially Maybe a displacement.

AE will be hiring 150 pilots in the next few months.

Fantastic. Old School Union Thuggery at it's best. Do they start off all their meetings with a moment of silence for Brother Hoffa?

This is indicative of a leadership that has lost it's compass...maybe a recall election?

Why are you guys hiring? Have a lot of people bailed or something?

I know since June over 200 have left.. And that's On the low side.. Our lovely company refuses to update our seniority list to show us how bad it really is..

I hope.. Maybe an actual hard copy of the ta will be nice too

WHY! Tony says it's good, so it must be, right!

But but but, we are sooooo over staffed! We have 3200 pilots on property with only ~260 aircraft. We could easily loose 800 pilots and not feel a thing.

Oops, sorry, thought I was on a different forum.

fixed it for ya
