Nobody blames the eagle pilots!

This is right. This will not be a sustainable plan though, due to flow through and the hefty retirements at AAL

It would if they made the only path to mainline going to a wholly owned regional first.

It would suck for the 'Squadron Buddies' but could boost Eagle hiring. Essentially getting a mainline seniority number at the regional level (though not officially) would have huge appeal.

I see this as a sort of nuclear option they could use if regional hiring gets really bad.

Why is there growth in the DFW/767? We have been above 50% reserves (not that I’m complaining) since last fall.

Maybe they’re anticipating some of the S80 displacements will want 767.

That's the way I read it as well.

...wouldn't they wait for a displacement bid for that then?

And it doesn't account for growth. Just because 80s are going away doesn't mean 76 will grow in DFW

Look at the staffing levels for it. It looks like they are starting to consolidate down to DFW, PHL, and MIA for now. LGA and PHX are shrinking.
