Happy with our company's success and "hoping" Eagle pilots suffer aren't one in the same and it's pretty simple minded to think otherwise.

If any Eagle pilots loose their job, then I consider that suffering. Your companies success comes with a price. That, my friend, is not simple minded thought IMO.

I am just pointing out that there are people that are ready (and hoping) to benefit from this news.

Well, it IS more then just "loosing" your job. Damage in the form of stagnation can occur without anyone "loosing" their jobs.

Which is also why I am baffled whenever I hear somebody say they plant to stick it out at their regional indefinitely. I'm at SkyWest, and am already looking for the next step. Our time will come, as it has for everybody else.

This action will result in the closure of the Miami (MIA) Executive pilot and flight attendant domiciles on Nov. 15. However, all Executive pilots and flight attendants will be able to use their seniority to bid for positions at American Eagle – including positions at MIA. We do not foresee any furloughs as a result of this displacement. We do anticipate that American Eagle will be providing more regional jet flying out of MIA to replace some of the discontinued ATR flying. Additionally, all MIA and Key West Executive employees will become American Eagle employees as of Jan. 1, 2013."

Do we have Key West Executive employees or was that supposed to be San Juan?
