simply amazing.

uh, this "impersonation" is a result of mainline decisions...

The irony is not lost on me, that's for sure.

I'd like to be able to follow you to AA. Prior to the bankruptcy, I was headed over with the recalls. Twenty one years and counting at AE and I want OFF this ship.

the name change stings.

it seems like american airlines is transferring value (the recognized brand of eagle) from its subsidiary back to mainline.
the brand is so closely tied to operating for american airlines, i actually think it might help a little bit to have a "new name" when bidding for new flying.

not that United or Delta let you say "operated by" anymore but even putting a sticker on there that says "operated by american eagle" seemed a bit far fetched?

We all know who that is...

Probably not "longterm" but you will have to go through the FOQ program and take your type ride.

Those of you at eagle that support the MEC and think they're are not in with management, please tell me as of ten minutes ago you are at least questioning them. For those of you that don't work for Eagle, the TA was agreed to today magically the same day as the Skywest flying.

That still leaves room for another 100 more of those larger RJs. I would expect some sort of announcement of those coming soon. Its why I think we are not furloughing, or else they are bracing for some kind of Exodus.

AMR is getting ready to add more RJ companies. Contract carriers come and go. Always will go to the lowest bidder. I believe you will eagle will be a fraction of what it is today in 2-5 years.
