Just a guess, legacy Eagle. Since American Eagle will no longer be a company but a brand ala delta connection. It is used to identify those currently working at AE before multiple carrier fly under the Eagle banner.

 

"THE" American Eagle Airlines.. (The OHIO State University).. like Legacy Eagle, I guess.. since everyone is stealing our name now and painting it on their airplanes.

I prefer OG-Eagle myself. L Eagle sounds stupid.

 

How's it going buddy. It's been a while since we've worked on the crossword puzzle in the Saab. How's brown treating you?

Go Boilers!

L-Eagle. The Real Eagle.

 

I'm not sure I can say Go Boilers after that football game.

Besides the loooong upgrade, I can't complain but I dont see many USA today crosswords overseas. I do enjoy my Honolulu overnights though. Saturday night in Waikiki beats west Texas overnights.

 

Aargh. I was actually at the game. OSU stomped us. It was nice to hear the band though.

I got it now, thanks. So is this correct or not...SKW, RAH, XJT "stole" the American Eagle name or did AMR who owns AE decide to make available the American Eagle name to the newly agreeded upon lift from all the bankruptcy mess?

 

yup, they stole our name.. and AMR aided and abetted in the crime.

 

Not to be a stickler, but several at Eagle here "informed" me in tge past that flying that used to be done by AA pilots and now done by Eagle pilots really wasn't AA's as AMR owns the flying and not the pilots and decides who flies what if scope allows it. In other words no one owns any flying they do, if it can be done by others. I don't see any difference then in a name either as AMR owns their "brand" and if Eagle scope allows another to operate under that brand, Eagle pilots don't own it. AMERICAN EAGLE has only been an "airline" for 16 years and was born of the 16-year contract that invented it. Previous to that it was a group of essentially 4 seperate airlines and since that contract is dead and scope allows the re morph back into separates, AMR is doing what they can and there is no "American Eagle" as an individual airlines and no one has rights to be that airline individually.

Just as their is no individual "Delta Connection" or "United Express", there is no "American Eagle". That is the new future. Regional flying will always be sub-contract flying with cannibalistic properties.

 

This is the type of info I was hoping to get as I was not really sure how this whole thing is playing out for all parties involved. I Understand why the American Eagle Airlines pilots would be upset about this encroachment on their comfort zone. But ultimately it just sounds like the cards dealt to these pilots in the AMR bankruptcy are rather unfavorable to say the least. I am sorry to see your pilot group getting backdoored like this. Best of luck to you American Eagle Airlines pilots.
