You guys are missing the big picture. There isn't much Eagle flying being taken, mostly AA routes.

Actually there is, Eagle had 250 jets and 33 T-props flying as of this time last year, by the end of the year we will have 225ish airframes per the current fleet forecast. So 50 to 60 airplanes gone equals flying going away.

2012 saw 30 or so props returned, we are returning the 135's already this year.

How will this effect the bases as Republic? Will they remain the same or will others open or possibly close. What do you think the future of CMH will hold?
Where do you think new hires will be going?

Wells Fargo financing.

Oh alright, I wasn't aware. Well then, my sympathy goes out to the Eagle pilots except for the ones that were picking up OT when there were guys out on the street.

ExpressJet was already starting the paint program when the new AA livery was announced. AA didn't want ExpressJet debuting the new paint before they did, and it was apparently difficult for the paint program to be changed for the remaining CRJs without jeopardizing the Feb. 13 opening of DFW. RAH aircraft on the other hand are not starting up for several months and shouldn't have that problem.

No worries, I understand the information is not easily accessible specially when you hear hiring and giving bonuses all the while parking over 15% of the fleet.

I thought eagle was hiring 600. It's down to 4-500 now? Interesting.
