Dude, we're talking about the IPO of Eagle, not the IPO of Google.

With 700s, 190s and some 145s and some long term capacity purchase agreements(more than 10 years with oil around 110) with AMR....Eagle will be close to skywest stock price in the market...$11 per share or higher.....

It is a great plan if AMR can put it together...

just my opinion, thats all.

Aren't the pilots 5 years into an open contract?

Eagle has to be a drain on AMR due to its mass fleet of 50 seat and less jets. Plus with 50 seats going to pasture sooner than later, AMR and the APA will have to bury the hatchet over the scope. I'm not advocating anything larger than Eagle flies now, but the ability to bring more of them on. Maybe this could be accomplished if AMR gives the mainline guys a good deal on 100-125 seat planes, something else AA also needs.

AA needs feed. Eagle provides the maximum feed that the APA contract allows. Eagle is not as effective as it could be, but we do what we can with the resources we are allowed to operate. I think AMR's plan is to circumnavigate the APA scope clause and go to companies like Jetblue for feed instead. No need for scope exceptions for JB to feed JFK with E190s and A320s.

And for the record, no I dont think Eagle could/would be spun off to operate something bigger and feed AA in the way JB does.

No I don't. You have no clue how how a company's stock priced is valued. Am I missing the point?
