Sure they will be, but where will they be going ?

Just to be safe, you may want to pick up the little dog, close your eyes and click your heels repeatedly saying, "there's no place like 125 RJ's, there's no place like 125 RJ's..........".

It can't hurt.

Sure there are a lot of possibilities, and your not going to convince eaglefly otherwise. However based on my industry experience, we are about to lose massive amounts of flying and pilots to the street. AMR's mo has been diversify, and get larger rjs. They are already in talks with republic for the big ones. The same amount of aircraft at eagle is not going to happen. The best thing you can do, if junior, is apply to republic or skywest and get hired before the rest of the eagle furloughs start coming over. It should make a nice cushion for ya.
While I wish we could be optimistic, AMR hates its employees AA and eagle. There will be no good from any of this.

we will see, till 125 airplanes are assigned to other feed providers, Eagle is still gaining. Once it passes 125 jets then this place is shrinking.

Sadly, I completely agree with that sentiment.

Congratulations, you've just entered step 1 on the 7 steps of grief scale, shock and denial.

I think Rick is strictly basing his hopes on a stand alone AA. If there is a U merger and almost certainly there will be, several of their carriers will remain and based on the number of aircraft planned by the U CLA, I see Eagle......well, the former "Eagle" being a player, but not the dominant player. Ultimately 150 large RJ's of the CRJ-700/900 would make them a significant future presence, but half their current size.

Rick thinks HIS Eagle will be flying up to 375 RJ's (and even perhaps turboprops), but that is WAY to many for either AMR's whipsaw model or Parker's plans, if you ask me.

Many companies hate their employees especially pilots. I cannot think of one company I worked for in which said I love my employees. Many companies will say they love their employees as they reduce your pay and benefits. Don't get it twisted with the shareholder's love of making money.

No I am just playing a stand alone AA. I think if USAIR does not get to take over, that AA may still pass on USAIR post BK.
I never said Eagle will fly 375 RJS, I think 250, but we basically have 250 airplanes now. I am saying with scope relief 125 more RJs are coming under the AA RJ brand. Until 125 airplanes worth of non AMR EAGLE contracts are in place we are still not completely doomed. I think there might be pain in all this, however this doom/gloom is still a maybe, and needs to be seen. We could still have 250 airplanes between CRJ700/900s and EMJ145s in the course of the next 1-3 years.


You want to come in here and point your finger saying look look I told ya they will bid out what Eagle is flying, but I am not sure this is going to be at AMR Eagles expense, I think this is at AAs expense. I still think Eagle may shuffle into other flying, as bigger RJs are coming. This is AA flying being lost. This is what AMR will do, take a little from the AA guys at a rate slow enough that they dont go bonkers enough to do what the company is afraid they will.

+1, I see it as being what Comair has been, have the size of its former glory. Eagle will have the current 700's and maybe a few 900's. No sense in wasting money for E175/190 sim and instructors. Republic already can supply that.

Question I have is all these carriers will be flying under the American Eagle name. I thought the whole reason American Conn was created was because American Eagle was an airline and companies given name. Delta Conn, and US Express Etc.. Aren't airline names but marketing tools. My question, is there some legal copy right? Or the the Eagle name a registered trademark with AMR.
