My guess is the flow through will be sweetened, maybe the 35% becomes 50% but it won't be that AA hires are hired at AE first. We will get new airplanes but were still going to shrink, my guess is somewhere between 150 and 200 aircraft total.

Hardly. The plan you suggest increases AA's (and DL if they were to even follow suit) costs because there are additional staff required to manage the process, in addition to the additional pilots that must be paid for at Eagle pay rates when they rather could outsource it to RAH or Mesa or even GoJet at the lower rates. Legacies want the cheapest feed (with a dash of reliability thrown in). The plan you suggest would only work if they could strong arm Eagle (and 9E on the DL side) into accepting heavy concessions to match pace with RAH.

Even if we get all 60 aircraft that gives us 107 after 2017, still a significant downsizing of AE. Why vote in concessions for such a small reward? Burn it down.

AA will take over hiring pilots for Eagle. The flow through will cover all pilots at Eagle, to include new hires that go there.

Any more or less aircraft than those numbers at this point are speculation.
Oh, what happened to me being "so wrong" just the other day? I told all of you to calm down and that there was a plan in the works for after bankruptcy.

I just don't believe this to be the case. Everyone has their "sources" and in the end we're all on an Internet message board without a clue.

Well, best of luck to those going to interview next week.
I won't be able to join you guys, my time off got cancelled at the last minute.
