Eagle to be sold!

[Cpt Oveur]

Is AMR short on cash all of a sudden?

AMR has been looking for a 100 seat replacement for years. Selling AE has been a rumor ever since they bought Business Express and Simmons. I find it more likely they start getting rid of E-135s and get AA to fly a 90 seater like the E195.

the more likely scenario is them buying the 25 CRJ700's and replacing the 135's with these. AA scope currently allows 25 more CRJ's.

i would imagine any larger a/c at Eagle to be the larger CRJ's simply for the fact that the training program is already set up and differences would be all that is needed. that and the APA views the "standup" cabin of the embraer as a mainline type aircraft versus the gate check CRJ.

The only people who believe the 25 CRJs are coming are the same ones that actually believed the original point of this thread.

Not gonna happen.

once the APA contract is ironed out they will be there to replace the 35 seaters. PB wants them. Bain wanted them.

PB wants them. Bain wanted them.

PB wants larger aircraft and Bain recommended larger aircraft. Neither made any mention of the CRJ-700.

There is so much bad blood between AMR and Bombardier over that airplane that neither side would even piss on the other if they spontaneously erupted into flames.

All EMB's being sold to the new Iraq Air Force as target drones....

We need the Avro RJ85 or 100 at AE. I loved that jet. Who cares if it burns a ton of gas and goes slow.

Eagle is getting A-380's, its true, heard it today on the employee bus.

that being said, what is the only 70 seater eagle can currently buy?

AA scope limits Eagle to aircraft of 75,000 lbs MTOW. I beleive the CRJ-700 is the only 70 seat jet that falls under that weight limit currently.

Plus, we still have 25 options.

It's simple guys! You wanna upgrade "tomorrow" dont come to eagle, you want some stabiltity, OK work rules, and have your choice of base before class then apply. The rumors about eagle being sold, eagle getting new aircraft, flowthroughs, etc will always be around.

Well... it looks like that "Guaranteed AA seniority number upon hiring" is coming our way. We'll kind of know if this career path deal is true in weeks. That's the only way hiring will pick-up over here. Stay tuned for the APA-ALPA-AA-Eagle metting this 18th.

Good attitude chump, I also agree that the next few weeks and maybe months will be vital to our careers and lifes. Only 2 more days until we have an idea as to where they are going. I guess if not, I'll just have to be patiente like many many 6/7 year FO's at eagle. Hell, if they hung out for that long it must be a good thing I guess. Gotta be optimistic people!.....
You know what the funny thing is?
That many of the people that dog eagle b/c of the long upgrades are the same ones that are going to be saying things like and I quote "I have an interview coming up, any advice?" or "Do you guys know how long it takes to hear from the captains board? i hope to join the AMR family soon! so exicted" (of course this is if we get what we want in the next few months)

Kinda like Net Jets...I remember back in 2005 before their new contract, everyone dogged the sh** out of Net Jets, made comments like "well if you like to whore your self for low pay and long upgrade, then come to net jets". Then after the new contract everyone was almost giving out BJs to get an interview with Net Jets, and shouting to the world that Net Jets was the place to be! and now little by little we're starting to see again some people complain that the long term pay at Net Jets as an FO is to low. Geesh!

I really like you Eagle guys. I truly hope that AMR doesn't Sell you off because if they do, they'll turn around and kick you square in the nuts. At least that's what happened to us. Best wishes guys & gals!

They are not going to sell us. But they still might kick us in the nuts.
